Your questions about Mexican catering in Blackfield
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Francis?
Yes. The church itself is not 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’ll check the access.
Do you cater at coastal events near Blackfield?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Can we add a bar?
We can. Our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We will go through the licensing with you.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
What if it rains?
The truck or trailer serves in the rain, though guests need a covered place to eat.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Mexican catering in Blackfield, from our truck or trailer
Few things get guests chatting like a build-your-own taco bar. Everyone builds their own tacos from what’s laid out, so each plate is exactly how they like it. It works well for engagement and anniversary parties and fundraisers and school events, with fresh salsas and guacamole, a build-your-own taco bar and tacos.
A place like Blackfield may have a hall or a club with a car park nearby; a truck or trailer can work at any of them, with permission and a level spot. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
Occasions we cater for in Blackfield
A food truck gives guests somewhere to gather, and the smell of warm tortillas brings people over.

Taco catering in Blackfield: local tips
Blackfield is about 3 miles south-east of Hythe, in Hampshire. Tell us where your event in Blackfield will be, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up before the day. Blackfield is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we can bring Mexican catering. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Blackfield to Southampton (about 7 miles away).
By rail: Hamble station is about 4.1 miles away. When the service is at a church such as St Francis, the food typically happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. Venues in and around the New Forest National Park, within about 4 miles of Blackfield, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before you book. The coast is within about 4 miles of Blackfield, so for a seaside event we plan around the wind. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots normally need permission from the council or landowner.
This part of Hampshire takes in SO45. Whether your event is on Newlands Copse, St Michaels Close and Dark Lane or anywhere nearby, we’ll plan where to park and serve. If your venue is just outside Blackfield, we also cover Langley (1 mile south), Roughdown (1 mile west), Holbury (1 mile north-west), Fawley (1 mile north-east) and Stonehills (1 mile north-east). Further out, we also cater in Gosport (9 miles east), Eastleigh (10 miles north), Fareham (8 miles east), Totton (9 miles north-west), Chandler's Ford (12 miles north) and Hedge End (7 miles north-east).
A little further out are Beaulieu Abbey And Display Of Monastic Life (3.8 miles west) and Coldeast (5.2 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Mercury Marshes.
- Schools near Blackfield include The New Forest Academy (1.6 miles north-west)

What affects the price in Blackfield
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- How long we are needed on site
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Travel, parking and access
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- What you’d like on the menu
- Where the event is
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- What power and water the site has
It is easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
What we need at the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
How it works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A photo of the space helps. Winter evenings in Blackfield close in by about 4:00pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
- Expect a suggested menu and a quote.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and arrangements.
- At the agreed time, service starts from the truck or trailer.
- When you’re done, we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Tell us when you want service to start
