Planning help
Blacklands: your questions answered
Could you serve in Alexandra Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Do you come to school fairs around Blacklands?
Yes, if the school is happy and there’s access for the truck or trailer. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
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 come to Blacklands?
We do. Blacklands is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

It brings something different to the food court.
