Mexican catering in Blackgang, served fresh
Our food truck or trailer travels to events across Blackgang and nearby: gardens, fields, yards and venues with hardstanding, as long as there is safe access. It suits weddings and evening receptions and fundraisers and school events, with burrito bowls, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In a rural place like Blackgang, access is the main thing to plan: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

The menu, item by item
Build-your-own taco bar
A taco bar is relaxed and sociable, and guests with different diets can choose what suits them.
Burritos and burrito bowls
Rice, beans, a filling and toppings rolled in a large tortilla, or served as a bowl instead.
What Mexican catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The length of service
- How many guests we’re serving
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Staff for serving and the bar
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The venue or postcode
- What you’d like on the menu
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- The date and time of the event
Not sure what you need yet? That’s fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will make suggestions. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
Out-of-the-way places like Blackgang take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Catering for every guest
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
Food is served from the hatch, order by order, so everything goes out hot.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we will confirm what’s possible with your quote.

Mexican catering around Blackgang
Blackgang is about 6 miles south-west of Shanklin, in the Isle of Wight. Give us the address of your event in Blackgang, and we’ll plan access and set-up before the day. We cater in all 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Blackgang to Southampton (23 miles away).
Close to Blackgang are historic houses such as Wolverton Manor (4.1 miles north-west) and Westcourt Manor (4.3 miles north-west). Venues like these often limit where vehicles can go, so ask about access before booking one. For a fête or sports day at a school such as Niton Primary School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking. With the sea within about 5 miles, a beach-side event might appeal. Promenades and beaches normally need permission, and the truck or trailer has to park on firm ground, not sand.
For Mexican catering in PO38, we plan around your venue and the route in. For events just outside Blackgang, we cover Chale (1 mile north-west), Niton (1 mile east), Puckaster (1 mile south-east), Pyle (1 mile north-west) and Bierley (1 mile north-east). We also cater in nearby towns such as Newport (8 miles north), Ryde (11 miles north-east), Cowes (12 miles north), Sandown (8 miles north-east), Shanklin (6 miles north-east) and Ventnor (4 miles east). For an event at a remote venue, tell us early so we can plan the journey, access and power.
Nearby you will also find Blackgang Sawmill Museum (less than half a mile west) and Whitecroft Hospital (5.7 miles north). Open spaces near Blackgang include Stenbury Down.

FAQs for Blackgang
Could you come to a seaside event near Blackgang?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades generally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
We are having a ceremony at St Andrew's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
What food do you serve?
We agree the menu with each client, with fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or black beans. Take a look at the sample menu.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
What food and drinks do you offer?
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. See our menu for ideas.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
What happens on the day
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. Planning an evening event in Blackgang?
