Mexican catering in Blackness, from our truck or trailer
Mobile Mexican catering means the kitchen comes to you: our truck or trailer parks at your venue and we serve hot food straight from the hatch. You don’t need a kitchen at the venue. It works well for christenings and family parties and retirement and leaving parties, with quesadillas, burritos and burrito bowls.
For a rural spot like Blackness, fields and drives need a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

What happens on the day
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. Around midsummer it stays light in Blackness until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

FAQs for Blackness
Could you come to a seaside event near Blackness?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Which station is closest to Blackness?
Guests can use Pevensey & Westham station, about 1.5 miles east of Blackness.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
How does mobile Mexican catering work?
We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up at your venue, serve hot food to order and pack down afterwards.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
What can we choose from?
We agree the menu with each client, with fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or black beans. The sample menu shows the options.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Blackness: venues, access and local tips
Blackness is about 2 miles north of Eastbourne, in East Sussex. Events in Blackness are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. Blackness is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex where we can bring Mexican catering. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Blackness to Brighton (about 18 miles away).
By rail: the nearest station is Pevensey & Westham station, about 1.5 miles east. If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Stone Cross School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. With the South Downs National Park about 6 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Blackness. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in. The coast is within about 4 miles of Blackness, 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 usually need permission from the council or landowner.
Anywhere in BN24, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your event is on Forge Place, Hailsham Road and Hankham Road or anywhere nearby, we can bring Mexican catering there, given access. If your venue is just outside Blackness, we also cover Hankham (1 mile north-east), Stone Cross (1 mile south-east), Polegate (2 miles west), Lower Willingdon (2 miles south-west) and Willingdon (2 miles south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Hastings (12 miles east), Bexhill-on-Sea (8 miles east), Seaford (9 miles west), Lewes (13 miles west), Hailsham (3 miles north-west) and St Leonards (12 miles east).
Other landmarks nearby include Pevensey Court House Museum And Gaol (1.9 miles east) and Eastbourne District General Hospital (2.5 miles south-west). Not far away are Combe Hill.
- Schools near Blackness include Causeway School (0.9 miles south)
- Local pubs include The Red Lion pub (within half a mile south)
Why choose Mexican catering in Blackness?
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a larger team. A food truck or trailer is its own kitchen, and needs a suitable spot, safe access and the venue’s agreement. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
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.
