Mexican catering across RG21

The menu starts with tacos: warmed tortillas, a choice of fillings, and salsas, guacamole and toppings to finish. We can add burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. It suits engagement celebrations and leaving dos and retirement parties, with a build-your-own taco bar, loaded nachos and fresh salsas and guacamole.

We work to your timings. If things run behind, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can.

First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
You get a suggested menu, with fillings agreed with you, and a quote.
Together we confirm where the truck or trailer will park, plus power and water.
On the day we arrive, set up and serve hot food from our food truck or trailer.
When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.

Cost

Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Landmarks near Oakridge

Also close by are The Vyne Community School (under half a mile north), The Rising Sun pub (under half a mile south-west) and Ruins Of Chapel Of The Holy Trinity (within half a mile south). There is a railway station in Oakridge itself: Basingstoke station, handy for guests travelling by train.

Planning a food truck in RG21

There are 3 towns and 0 villages and hamlets in RG21, so the setting can be anything from Basingstoke, Popley and Oakridge to a quiet hamlet: a level, firm spot, a way in and agreed timings.

Oakridge: For a christening or wedding at a church such as Ruins Of Chapel Of The Holy Trinity, a food truck at a garden or venue nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. If people are travelling in by rail, Oakridge has its own station, Basingstoke station. In Oakridge, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.

Should I do it myself?

Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

What we need at the venue

No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:

Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
A spot for a taco-bar serving table
Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site

Organising for someone else?

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.

Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.

What affects the price in RG21

Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:

What’s on the menu
Whether you add a drinks bar or food
The length of service
The number of people

There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

Details that help

For a quote, it helps to have:

Gate widths, slopes and the ground
What power and water the site has
The venue or postcode
Approximate guest numbers, including children

Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.

Catering for every guest

Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:

Include at least one vegan filling
Give us separate numbers for children
Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations

Food is served from the hatch, order by order, so it is hot when it reaches them.

A tray of loaded nachos works well to start or as a late snack.

Questions from RG21

Can you cater for special diets?

Diets are planned in advance, with options kept separate, but we can’t promise a kitchen without traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.

How soon do we need to book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.

How many guests can you cater for?

Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Bigger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case.

Can you do dairy-free food?

Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll plan the menu around them.

When do you arrive?

That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.

Do you cater for coeliacs?

Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.

Do you provide plates and napkins?

We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.
