How our Mexican street food works in Blackwater
Our food is easy to eat standing up or on the grass, which suits festival crowds. It suits race days and sports events and agricultural and county shows, serving tacos, vegan tacos and burritos.
Near Blackwater, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- The event’s site rules and timings
- Flat, firm ground
Out-of-the-way places like Blackwater take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Put all trader information in one pack
- Plan seating near the food area
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
We set up at the agreed time.
Our drinks bar, where the event’s licensing allows.
The process
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. For an evening event in Blackwater, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the trading area needs lighting from the organiser or the site.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- 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.
- Tacos, burritos and more are served to order while the event is open.
- At the close, we clear our pitch.

Prices and what affects them
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Parking and the route in
- Whether you need disposables
- The number of people
- How many staff you need
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
- What power and water the site has
Still deciding on the menu? That is fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will suggest a menu. To start, send a quick message through our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
DIY taco night or 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.
