Mexican street food near Blackness
How it works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. For an evening event in Blackness, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; after that, the trading area needs lighting from the organiser or the site.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- At the close, we clear our pitch.
Getting ready for the day

Common questions in Blackness
Will you travel to a small place like Blackness?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so get in touch early.
Can you serve alcohol at our event?
Our drinks bar can be added where the event’s licensing allows. Licensing is checked with you first.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Mexican street food or something else?
Hot-cabinet food lacks appeal. Our food is made to order. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
Why book with us
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
