How it compares
Hog roasts are popular with meat eaters, but a Mexican menu covers vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests more easily. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
What you get with us
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- Allergen information for everything we serve
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch

Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Where the event is
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
- Tell us about coeliac guests
Service starts when your timings say, and we cook each order as it comes.
Add a build-your-own taco bar beside the truck for a wedding breakfast or lunch.
For event organisers in Blackthorn
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will let you know if it is a good fit.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
Should I do it myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.
Common questions in Blackthorn
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you cater afterwards?
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.
Is Blackthorn close to London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How does food truck hire work?
Our truck or trailer comes to your venue and serves your guests from the hatch. Only your guests are served.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
Do you come to Blackthorn?
Yes, we do. Blackthorn is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Can we add drinks?
You can add our drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Licensing is checked with you.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we will adjust where we can. At midsummer, it stays light in Blackthorn until about 9:25pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
