Mexican street food for Blacknest events
Mexican street food in Blacknest, served fresh
Crew catering can be timed to your schedule, keeping your team going. It works well for sports clubs and race days and festivals, serving loaded nachos, burrito bowls and tacos.
At a fête or field event near Blacknest, a truck or trailer brings hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground, the gate and access. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our food truck or trailer, and serve without fuss. Late-September events in Blacknest see sunset at about 7:05pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Tell us how the site will be lit when you send the pitch details.
- You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We send our menu, pitch requirements and the documents you ask traders for.
- On the day, we arrive in the set-up window and get ready to trade.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day

Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
How it compares
Not every trader covers vegans and coeliacs. Our menu includes vegan and gluten-free options. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
