FAQs for Blackbird Leys
Is Blackbird Leys close to London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of the Holy Family?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
How many guests can you cater for?
That depends on the event. As a guide, it is around 50 to 400 guests; tell us your numbers and we will plan around them.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Can you serve in bad weather?
We serve from the truck or trailer whatever the weather, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
What Mexican catering costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The length of service
- The number of people
- Serving staff
- Whether you need disposables
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- How we drive in and where we can park
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and when you want service to start
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests help themselves while we keep it topped up.
Add our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
A drop-off platter is easy, but nobody remembers it. Hot food served from a truck feels like part of the event. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
Why book with us
- Allergen information for every dish
- Options for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests
- A clear quote

Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.

Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
