Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
How our Mexican street food works in Blackheath
We slow-cook fillings ahead and finish them on site, so service stays quick through busy periods. It suits open-air performances and hospitality and crew areas, serving loaded nachos, vegan tacos and tacos.
Events in Blackheath range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Public spaces and road closures generally need council permission, and we will send whatever the organiser needs from us.

The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our truck or trailer, and serve without fuss. Summer events in Blackheath have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- You get our stall menu, what we need at the pitch and the paperwork you request.
- On the day, we arrive in the set-up window and get ready to trade.
- We cook to order and serve through the agreed trading hours.
- At the close, we clear our pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Blackheath: your questions answered
Do you come to school fairs around Blackheath?
Yes, if the school is happy and there is access for the truck or trailer. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
What about parking in Blackheath?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
Is the food very hot?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Can you cater for crew and volunteers?
We can. We can cook for crew, volunteers or a hospitality area as well as, or instead of, a public stall.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you do a 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. Read our taco bar guide.
