Common questions in Rooksdown
What’s the nearest station to Rooksdown for guests?
Guests can use Basingstoke station, about 1.7 miles south-east of Rooksdown.
Could you serve our guests after a service at The Good Shepherd?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Do you cover Rooksdown?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Rooksdown and the rest of Hampshire. For a quote, tell us about it on our contact page.
How spicy is the food?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, for example a supply from the venue, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we will recommend how to serve.
Wedding Mexican catering in Rooksdown, from our food truck or trailer
A Mexican menu makes mixed diets easier: we plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options and give allergen information for every dish. On the menu are a taco bar for the wedding breakfast, fresh guacamole and salsas and burrito bowls, which works well for late-evening wedding food and marquee and garden weddings.
A farm or garden wedding near Rooksdown suits a food truck. We need level ground and access. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, with allergen information for everything we serve.
How it works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A picture of the space helps. A winter wedding in Rooksdown gets dark early, at about 4:00pm in December, so the evening food will be served after dark. Ask your venue what outdoor lighting it has near where we will park.

- We plan the wedding breakfast, evening food or both with you.

Should I do it myself?
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. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
