Once the service at a church like St Stephen's Church is over, the party can move somewhere with space for the truck and a queue. For a party in the countryside, the North Wessex Downs National Landscape is within about 5 miles. Rural gardens and fields work well for a truck, given firm ground and a way in.

Common questions in Upper Basildon
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Stephen's Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Do you cater in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
How much space 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. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will plan the menu around them.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Generally. We need firm, level ground outside, access and the venue’s agreement.
Is my garden suitable?
It depends on the access and the ground. Tell us about gates, slopes and soft lawns, and we’ll confirm.
How spicy is the food?
It is up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will suggest mild options.
What we need at the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Is Mexican party catering right for your party?
Compared with a barbecue, a food truck serves steadily from the start, and there’s no host stuck at the grill. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.
