How our Mexican catering works in Copthorne
Planning taco catering for an event in Copthorne? Serving from a truck or trailer keeps the mood easy-going. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food. It works well for engagement celebrations and christenings and family parties, serving quesadillas, a build-your-own taco bar and loaded nachos.
There may be a hall or club near Copthorne if your garden is small; any can work, given permission and level ground to park on. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Copthorne: your questions answered
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St John's Church?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Do you come to Copthorne?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Copthorne and the rest of West Sussex. To check your date, tell us about it on our contact page.
What are your prices?
We quote for each event, based on guest numbers, the menu, the venue and timings. For a price, send a quick message through our quote form.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
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 plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.

The process
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. Winter evenings in Copthorne close in by about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
How to get a price
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.

Copthorne: venues, access and local tips
Copthorne is about 3 miles north-east of Crawley, in West Sussex.

Close to Copthorne are historic houses such as Gravetye Manor (4.5 miles south-east) and Saint Hill Manor (4.9 miles south-east).

For a fête or sports day at a school such as Fairway Infant School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking. The High Weald National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Copthorne, with country venues and gardens that can suit a food truck. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about vehicles and catering, so check with yours.

Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included. To get it right:
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Give us separate numbers for children
Allergen information is on hand for every dish, and guests are welcome to ask before ordering.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.
Popular choices
Tacos
Warm tortillas with a choice of fillings, finished with salsas and toppings. Fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms are agreed with you.
Salsas and guacamole
Salsas and guacamole, made fresh for your event, with lime and fresh toppings.
Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
