About our food truck hire in Blacklands
Service is planned around your timings: a lunchtime window, an evening service or a longer slot through a party. Tell us when guests should eat. At leaving dos and retirements and company away days, we can serve burritos, burrito bowls and fresh salsas and guacamole for your guests.
Around Blacklands, a hired food truck can serve in a garden, a field or a hall car park. If the road in is narrow or the ground soft, tell us so we can plan. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Send allergy details in writing
- Agree service times with us
- Ask about parking rules if we will be on a road
The hatch opens at the time you choose, and we cook each order as it comes.
Quesadillas make an easy option for children.
Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
