How our Mexican party catering works in Basted
We plan the menu together, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. At street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers and exam-results parties, we can serve a build-your-own taco bar, tacos and guacamole and salsas for your guests.
In a small place like Basted, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground, and we’ll plan around it. We prepare everything fresh for your party and serve it straight from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Step by step
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. December parties in Basted are dark from about 3:55pm, so think about how guests will see their way to the truck. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- We start by checking your date and the space.
- You pick the fillings and extras.
- We confirm power, water and the way in.
- Service starts at the agreed time.
- We pack away and the party carries on.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Tell us what power and water the site has

Questions from Basted
Do you cater in villages like Basted?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Could you serve in Ivy Hatch Nature Reserve?
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.
What will our party cost?
Every party is quoted for individually, based on numbers, the menu and the location. For a price, use our quote form.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we will check the licensing with you and your venue.
Working with your venue
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.

Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
