About our Mexican street food in Old Basing
Few stalls draw a queue like a Mexican food truck. The smell of warm tortillas and slow-cooked fillings brings people over, and orders come out fast from the hatch. It suits crew and volunteer catering and agricultural and county shows, with tacos, vegan tacos and loaded nachos.
Around Old Basing, a fête or summer fair suits a food truck. Send us the pitch and access details. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Share vehicle access times with traders
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
We keep our pitch tidy and safe.
Bowls as a gluten-free choice.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
FAQs for Old Basing
Which station should guests use for Old Basing?
Guests can use Basingstoke station, about 2 miles west of 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.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will talk it through.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll suggest mild options.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
For event organisers in Old Basing
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 will follow them.
