Mexican catering near Blackwater
Mexican catering in Blackwater, served fresh
Mixed diets are easy to plan with Mexican street food. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish. It works well for wedding breakfasts and evening food and big birthday celebrations, serving a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and quesadillas.
In a smaller place like Blackwater, your own garden, drive or a local hall is often the simplest option: no venue hire, and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Let us know about the route to the house. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Blackwater: venues, access and local tips
Blackwater is about 1 mile south of Sandhurst, in Hampshire. Wherever your event is in the GU17 area, we will come to your venue or site, as long as there’s access. We serve in all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Blackwater to Guildford (11 miles away).
A gathering in Sandhurst Memorial Park would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early. Guests arriving by train will find that Blackwater station is about 0.6 miles away.
This part of Hampshire takes in GU17, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. From London Road, Bell Lane and Ash Close or a nearby road, we can bring Mexican catering there, given access. Close by, we cover events in Frogmore (1 mile west), Hawley (1 mile south-east), College Town (1 mile north-east), Sandhurst (1 mile north) and York Town (1 mile east). Larger places within reach include Basingstoke (14 miles west), Farnborough (3 miles south), Fleet (5 miles south-west), Aldershot (6 miles south), Alton (15 miles south-west) and Tadley (15 miles west).
Well-known places in the area include Frimley Park Hospital (2.4 miles south-east) and Staff College Museum (1.9 miles east). Open spaces near Blackwater include Horseshoe Lake and Ball Hill.
- Nearby schools include Frogmore Community College (0.8 miles west)
- Local pubs include Mr Bumble pub (0.6 miles south-east)
- Parks and local facilities nearby include Royal Military Academy Library (1.2 miles north-east)
What happens on the day
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A photo of the space helps. A December event in Blackwater will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- Access, the serving spot, power and water are agreed in advance.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want service to start

For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Occasions we cater for in Blackwater
Tacos and burritos go down well with most crowds: familiar, filling and easy to eat wherever guests are.
Whatever you are celebrating in Blackwater, the serving truck can be a highlight. We can cater:
- Engagement and anniversary parties

- Expected numbers
- Diets and allergies you know about

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and you’ll get menu ideas and a price. To get started, tell us about it on our contact page.
How it compares
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, Mexican street food is easier for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, because fillings and toppings are kept separate. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.
