Mexican party catering for Oakridge events
Parties in Oakridge: gardens, venues and local tips
Oakridge is about 1 mile north-east of Basingstoke, in Hampshire. From the centre of Oakridge to the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We cater in 683 places across Hampshire, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Oakridge to Reading (13 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include The Vyne (2.6 miles north). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on outside caterers and vehicles, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. Parks such as Eastrop Park usually need permission for vehicles and catering, so a garden or hired venue is often easier.
Wherever your party is in RG21 and RG24, we can bring Mexican party catering to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. We can cater a party on streets such as New Road, Vyne Road and Goat Lane or the roads around them. With the A3010 close by, Oakridge is easy for us to reach for your party. For parties just outside Oakridge, we cover Eastrop (1 mile south-east), Popley (1 mile north), Viables (1 mile south), Lychpit (2 miles east) and Old Basing (2 miles east). We also cater in nearby towns such as Farnborough (14 miles east), Fleet (11 miles east), Aldershot (14 miles east), Alton (10 miles south-east), Yateley (12 miles north-east) and Tadley (6 miles north).
Other landmarks nearby include Basing House (1.6 miles east) and Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital (1.1 miles north-west). Not far away are Farleigh Hill and Daneshill Park Woods.
- Schools near Oakridge include Oakridge Junior School (under half a mile north-west) and The Costello School (0.7 miles south-east)
- Local pubs include The Rising Sun pub (less than half a mile south-west)
How our Mexican party catering works in Oakridge
Mexican street food is made for relaxed parties: easy to eat with one hand, so guests can keep chatting. For big birthdays and baby celebrations, we can serve guacamole and salsas, loaded nachos and a build-your-own taco bar and more.
For a party in Oakridge, your garden is often the best venue. Let us know how the truck or trailer can reach the garden, and we’ll do the rest. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will let you know if it’s a good fit.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Step by step
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. December parties in Oakridge are dark from about 4:00pm, so plan lighting where guests queue and eat. At midsummer, sunset is about 9:25pm.
- Send us your date, where the party is, numbers and dietary needs.
- We put a menu together and quote for it.
- We confirm access, parking, power and water.
- On the day, we arrive, set up and start serving at the agreed time.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.

Oakridge questions
What’s the nearest station to Oakridge for guests?
Oakridge has its own station: Basingstoke station.
Could you serve in Eastrop Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Do you cater for children?
Most children enjoy it, especially quesadillas or simple tacos. Tell us how many children and their ages.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
Do you have vegan options?
We keep vegetarian and vegan fillings separate, and every dish is labelled. Ask anyone with a severe allergy to speak to us first.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you come to Oakridge?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Oakridge is within our area. To check your date, send a quick message through our quote form.
Catering for every guest
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
- Plan a vegan filling alongside the others
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
- Count adults and children separately
The area around the truck or trailer stays tidy, with space for a queue.
A wider choice of salsas and toppings.
Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
