Your questions about wedding Mexican catering in Old Basing
Is Old Basing close to London?
It’s about 44 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
What about supplier meals?
Yes, include them in your numbers. Tell us when they’ll eat.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you serve drinks at our wedding?
You can add our drinks bar, with bar staff serving your guests. Alcohol needs the right licence, so we’ll check that with you.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.

In Old Basing, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a personal choice. A truck or trailer parked by the marquee fits right in. Tell us about access to the field or garden. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
