Mexican catering in Blackthorn, from our truck or trailer
Tacos are the heart of the menu: warmed tortillas, a choice of fillings, and salsas, guacamole and toppings to finish. Burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas can sit alongside them. It works well for anniversaries and engagements and weddings, day or evening, with burrito bowls, fresh salsas and guacamole and loaded nachos.
For a rural spot like Blackthorn, 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 truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.

About the menu
Loaded nachos
Nachos are easy sharing food, whether as a starter or a late bite. We can plan a dairy-free version.
Burritos and burrito bowls
A burrito is a meal in one. The bowl version suits anyone avoiding tortillas.
Blackthorn: your questions answered
Is Blackthorn close to London?
About 50 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you have dairy-free options?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Do you do a drinks bar?
We can. Our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Licensing is checked with you first.

Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
- Give us separate numbers for children
Rain does not stop us serving from the truck or trailer, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Ask us about plates, cutlery and serving staff and we will confirm what’s possible with your quote.
Before you choose a spot
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you. The main points are:
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
- 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’ll say what we think before booking.
Popular choices
- Quesadillas
- Burritos
- Loaded nachos
- Burrito bowls

How it compares
Sit-down meals need a kitchen, tables and more staff. A food truck or trailer is its own kitchen, so we need a suitable spot, access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
What you get with us
- A quote that sets out what’s included
- Fast service, even with a queue
- A menu agreed with you
- Menus for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests

Who books Mexican catering in Blackthorn?

The process
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. Around midsummer it stays light in Blackthorn until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, 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.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
Before we arrive
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Give us a contact for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
How to get a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
