Mexican party catering for your party in Basingstoke

In Basingstoke, parties range from back gardens to function rooms and clubs. We need a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer and a way to drive in. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Before you choose a spot
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- A quick photo of the access helps us plan
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle

With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Ensure there is a vegan option
- Ask guests with serious allergies to talk to us first
- Plan where rubbish goes
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
We arrive before your guests to set up.
Quesadillas for younger guests.

Basingstoke: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for Basingstoke?
Guests can use Basingstoke station, about 0.6 miles east of Basingstoke.
Could you serve in Eastrop Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Generally, if there’s outdoor space to park and the venue’s permission. Ask the venue about food trucks.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Can you do a kids’ option?
Most children enjoy it, especially quesadillas or simple tacos. Tell us how many children and their ages.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will plan the menu around them.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
