How our wedding Mexican catering works in Bassett
Add our Mexican drinks bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with alcohol-free choices for drivers and children. Licensing is checked with you and the venue first. It suits evening wedding food and relaxed wedding breakfasts, serving a taco bar for the wedding breakfast, fresh guacamole and salsas and burrito bowls.
In Bassett, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a personal choice. A food truck by the marquee suits that kind of day. Let us know about gates and ground for the truck or trailer. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Bassett questions
Is it possible to have you in Southampton Common?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Is Bassett close to London?
About 69 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Are plates and napkins included?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Do you do evening food as well as the main meal?
Yes: one part of the day, or both main meals, from the wedding breakfast to evening food. Tell us what you have in mind.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Yes. We’ll speak to your venue about access and timings.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
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.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. December weddings in Bassett lose the light by about 4:00pm, so the evening food will be served after dark. Festoon lights by the truck help guests see the menu.
- Tell us the date, the venue, day and evening numbers and your plans.
- You get a suggested wedding menu and a quote to match.
- We agree access, timings, power and water with you and your venue.
- On the day we set up and serve when your running order says.
- Once service is done, we pack away quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.

Comparing your options
Compared with formal catering, a taco bar is relaxed and sociable, but with good presentation it still feels special. 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.

Bassett weddings: local tips
Bassett is about 2 miles north-west of Southampton, in Southampton. Across the SO16 area, we can bring the truck or trailer to you. We cover 40 places across Southampton, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
Put the station on your invitation: Swaythling station is about 1.5 miles away. Nearby historic houses include South Stoneham House (1.5 miles east) and Southampton Tudor House and Garden (2.8 miles south). A listed house can make a beautiful backdrop, but many have firm rules on vehicles, so raise the food truck with them at your first visit. A wedding by the sea is possible from Bassett, with the coast within about 3 miles. Seafront venues may need permission for vehicles, and we plan for the breeze.
Wedding Mexican catering in SO16, SO17 and SO15 is planned around your venue and access. Streets in the area include Burgess Road, Pointout Road and Chetwynd Road, and a wedding on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Neighbouring places where we cater weddings include Highfield (1 mile south-east), Lordswood (1 mile west), Chilworth (1 mile north), Coxford (1 mile west) and Shirley (2 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include Thornhill (4 miles south-east), Chartwell Green (3 miles east), Harefield (3 miles south-east), Itchen (3 miles south-east), Sholing (4 miles south-east) and Woolston (4 miles south-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Netley Castle (4.9 miles south-east) and Foresters Museum & Archive (2.1 miles south). Open spaces near Bassett include Flexford Nature Reserve.
- Nearby schools include Hollybrook Infant School (0.6 miles south-west) and Saint George Catholic Voluntary Aided College Southampton (1.3 miles east)
- Pubs nearby include The Bellemoor pub (0.9 miles south)

Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- Travel, parking and access
- Guest numbers
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Food, drinks or both
Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Flag any coeliac guests or serious allergies
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Enquire early for summer Saturdays
- Ask whether your venue allows food trucks
The truck or trailer can be placed where guests can see it.
Quesadillas go down well with children.
Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Where the truck can go in Bassett
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- 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.
