Your questions about food truck hire in Blackness
Do you come to events in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Is Blackness close to London?
It is about 50 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
What do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Can we hire a bar too?
The drinks bar comes with bar staff. We’ll talk through licensing first.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Space, access and the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
- A spot away from neighbours
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
