Mexican street food in Bassett Green
Mexican street food in Bassett Green, from our food truck or trailer
A taco stall covers many diets at once: there are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas. That makes your food line-up easier. It works well for community events and open days and fundraisers and fêtes, serving quesadillas, burritos and loaded nachos.
For events in a place like Bassett Green, one hot-food trader that suits most diets makes life easy. Tacos and burritos can do exactly that. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

FAQs for Bassett Green
Can you trade at a school fair in Bassett Green?
Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
What’s the nearest station to Bassett Green for guests?
Guests can use Swaythling station, about 0.6 miles east of Bassett Green.
Do you do crew catering?
Yes. Crew, volunteer and hospitality catering is available, with or without a public stall.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we will talk it through.

How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Where the truck can go in Bassett Green
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:

Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.

What happens on the day
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, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. A December market in Bassett Green loses the light at about 4:00pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:25pm.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.

Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Comparing your options
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot burrito or taco bowl keeps crew going. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we will set out what’s included.
