A Mexican drinks bar in Blackboys: local tips
Blackboys is about 3 miles east of Uckfield, in East Sussex. Wherever your event is in the TN22 area, we can bring the truck or trailer to you, as long as there is access. We cater in 289 places across East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater right across the region, from Blackboys to Brighton (16 miles away).
A gathering in Passingworth Park? Check the park’s rules first, as alcohol and vehicles generally need permission. Anyone leaving the car at home will want to know that Buxted station is about 2.3 miles away. With the High Weald National Landscape within about 6 miles, a countryside drinks reception is an option. Check how the venue handles outside bars and vehicles.
We cover events in every part of the TN22 postcode area. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on High Street, Mount Pleasant and Gun Road or the roads around them. Blackboys sits on or near the B2102, so getting the truck or trailer to your event is simple. We also serve at events in Etchingwood (1 mile north-west), Framfield (1 mile west), Potter's Green (2 miles north-west), Buxted (2 miles north-west) and Hadlow Down (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Eastbourne (13 miles south-east), Bexhill-on-Sea (15 miles south-east), Seaford (13 miles south), Lewes (9 miles south-west), Hailsham (8 miles south-east) and Crowborough (6 miles north).
A little further out are Uckfield Community Hospital (2.6 miles west) and Sussex Farm Museum (3.9 miles south-east). Not far away are Selwyns Wood.
- Pubs nearby include Blackboys Inn (within half a mile south)

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.

Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

Step by step
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t normally stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. In December, the light goes in Blackboys at about 3:55pm, so plan where guests will gather, and how it will be lit. Midsummer is the opposite, with daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Send us your date, venue, numbers and drinks ideas.
- Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
- You get a suggested drinks menu and a quote.
- On the day we set up the bar and our bar staff serve your guests.
- When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

Blackboys: your questions answered
Is Blackboys close to London?
It’s about 39 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you come to events in the High Weald National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
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.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Can children have drinks from the bar?
Always. Aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata are alcohol-free.
What’s on the menu
Mexican beer
Mexican beers served cold.
Agua de jamaica
A colourful alcohol-free choice.
