Is Mexican catering right for your event?
A drop-off platter is easy, but nobody remembers it. Hot food served from a truck feels like part of the event. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.

Mexican catering in Blackstone, served fresh
The menu starts with tacos: warmed tortillas, a choice of fillings, and salsas, guacamole and toppings to finish. We can add burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. We serve tacos, a build-your-own taco bar and loaded nachos, and it is a good fit for birthday parties and fairs and festivals.
Somewhere as small as Blackstone, 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. 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.

Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Space for guests to queue
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
When service ends, we pack down and clear our area 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
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.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

Blackstone questions
Do you come to events in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Blackstone?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us 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.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
Do you cater for big events?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Bigger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case.
Can you set up at our venue?
We need level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
