Street food for events around Blackfield
Blackfield is about 3 miles south-east of Hythe, in Hampshire. We serve at events in homes, gardens and venues in Blackfield. Blackfield is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover. We cater right across the region, from Blackfield to Southampton (about 7 miles away).
For a public event, it helps to tell people that Hamble station is about 4.1 miles away. If you’re organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as Blackfield Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. Organisers near the New Forest National Park, within about 4 miles of Blackfield, may face extra conditions on traffic, ground protection and waste. We work to whatever the site sets. Within about 4 miles of the sea, coastal events bring wind and sand into the plan. A firm, sheltered pitch suits a truck or trailer best.
Wherever your event is in SO45, we can bring Mexican street food to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Newlands Copse, St Michaels Close and Dark Lane, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. If your venue is just outside Blackfield, we also cover Langley (1 mile south), Roughdown (1 mile west), Holbury (1 mile north-west), Fawley (1 mile north-east) and Stonehills (1 mile north-east). Further out, we also cater in Gosport (9 miles east), Eastleigh (10 miles north), Fareham (8 miles east), Totton (9 miles north-west), Chandler's Ford (12 miles north) and Hedge End (7 miles north-east).
A little further out are Beaulieu Abbey And Display Of Monastic Life (3.8 miles west) and Coldeast (5.2 miles north-east). Open spaces near Blackfield include Mercury Marshes.
- Local schools include The New Forest Academy (1.6 miles north-west)
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.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Blackfield: your questions answered
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Blackfield?
Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you serve near the sea around Blackfield?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots generally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Can you bring margaritas?
It depends on the event’s licence. Tell us whether the event has a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, and we will go from there.

The process
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event. Summer events in Blackfield have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park

What Mexican street food costs
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, parking and access
- The length of service
- The menu you choose
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Diets and allergies you know about
- A picture of where we’d park
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, use our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- The event’s site rules and timings
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
Is Mexican street food right for your event?
