Mexican party catering in Old Basing, served fresh
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can come from our drinks bar, with alcohol-free options for drivers and children. We will check the licensing with you. For graduation and exam-results parties and retirement celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, tacos and loaded nachos.
Parties around Old Basing are often relaxed, garden-and-gazebo affairs. A taco truck on the drive fits right in. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
- Ensure most people can sit to eat
- Plan a vegan filling alongside the others
- Put severe allergies to us in writing
The area around the truck or trailer stays tidy.
Loaded nachos to share as a starter.
Organising for someone else?
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
How the day works
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule. A summer party in Old Basing stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You choose fillings, sides and extras.
- We confirm power, water and the way in.
- We serve hot food at the time you choose.
- We tidy up and leave you to enjoy the party.

FAQs for Old Basing
Is it possible to have you 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.
What’s the nearest station to Old Basing for guests?
The closest is Basingstoke station, roughly 2 miles away.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
What access do you need?
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 photo of the space and the way in.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Let us know what you’d like and we’ll explain the options with your quote.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Do you have vegan options?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.

Where the truck can go in Old Basing
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What Mexican party catering costs
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Timings and hours
- What the venue already provides
- How many guests we’re serving
- Food, drinks or both
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of where we’d park
- The address or venue name
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Give us the details of your party, and we will suggest a menu to suit.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
