Mexican catering for Blackboys events
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. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
About our Mexican catering in Blackboys
The menu starts with tacos: warm tortillas with your choice of fillings, plus fresh salsas, guacamole and toppings. We can add burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. It suits milestone birthdays and wedding breakfasts and evening food, serving tacos, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole.
Somewhere as small as Blackboys, a garden or field is often the venue. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. Around midsummer it stays light in Blackboys until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- Access, the serving spot, power and water are agreed in advance.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches

Blackboys questions
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Do you cater in villages like Blackboys?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.

Our truck and trailer service typically suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, including East Sussex. See all areas.
Do you cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free guests?
Yes. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. We give allergen information for every dish.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.

Where the truck can go in Blackboys

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

Comparing your options
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, because fillings and toppings are kept separate. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
