For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in Blacknest? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.

Mexican catering for your event in Blacknest
We slow-cook the fillings ahead and finish them on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. Tortillas are warmed as we serve. For company summer parties and garden parties, we will put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, quesadillas and tacos for your guests.
In a rural place like Blacknest, access is the main thing to plan: 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 arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Blacknest is one of 57 places in Windsor and Maidenhead we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Blacknest to Guildford (about 11 miles away).
A gathering in Silwood Park would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early.

Estates and historic houses tend to set their own rules for caterers, so find out what yours allows first.

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Make sure the menu has a vegan option
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
Once everyone has eaten, we tidy up and pack away quietly.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
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. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Occasions we cater for in Blacknest
Food is cooked to order and served hot, rather than sitting out on a buffet table.
We cater all kinds of occasions in Blacknest and nearby. Popular bookings include:
- Big birthday celebrations
- Leaving dos and retirement parties
- Family gatherings and christenings
- Summer garden parties
Parents planning a fundraiser at a school like Holy Trinity CofE Primary School might find a Mexican street-food truck draws families in.
Questions to ask before booking
- How bad weather is handled
- Payment terms and deposit
- A food hygiene rating you can check
- The deadline for final numbers
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Cold buffets are easy, but the food sits out. Our food is served hot, one order at a time. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.
Why us?
- Allergen information for everything we serve
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- Fast service, even with a queue
How it works
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. Winter evenings in Blacknest close in by about 3:55pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and how many.

Common questions in Blacknest
How far is Blacknest from London?
About 24 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Could you serve in Silwood Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Do you cater for big events?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
What if it rains?
We serve from the truck or trailer whatever the weather, though guests need a covered place to eat.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
What food do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or black beans. Take a look at the sample menu.
