Questions to ask before booking

Is Mexican catering right for your event?

Burgers and pizza are what guests often expect. Tacos, burritos and nachos feel a little different. There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

What happens on the day

When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. Around midsummer it stays light in Crawley Down until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.

  1. Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
  2. Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
  3. We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
  4. Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
  5. We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.

How to prepare

  • Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
  • Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
  • Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Crawley Down questions

Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.

Could you serve our guests after a service at All Saints Parish 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 will check the access.

Do you need electricity?

Tell us what the site has, for example a supply from the venue, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.

Do you provide plates and napkins?

That’s confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.

What happens if it rains?

We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.

Is there a minimum number of guests?

It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.

Do you have options for kids?

Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.

How far ahead should we book?

As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.

Taco catering in Crawley Down: local tips

Crawley Down is about 3 miles west of East Grinstead, in West Sussex. We serve at events in gardens, halls and venues around Crawley Down and the surrounding area. We cover 371 places in West Sussex, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.

When the service is at a church such as All Saints Parish Church, the food usually happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. Historic houses near Crawley Down include Saint Hill Manor (2.4 miles south-east) and Gravetye Manor (2.4 miles south). Estates and historic houses tend to set their own rules for caterers, so find out what yours allows first. Venues in and around the High Weald National Landscape, within about 6 miles of Crawley Down, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before you book.

Should I do it myself?

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.

Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. 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’ll do the serving.

For event organisers in Crawley Down

Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we will let you know if it is a good fit.

Organising a club, school or community event in Crawley Down? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.

Dietary needs and planning tips

With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:

  • Tell us how many children are coming
  • Tell us what other food is being served
  • Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
  • Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences

On the day, we arrive in good time to park up and get ready. All we need is someone to show us the agreed spot.

Burrito bowls suit guests who’d rather skip the tortilla, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.

  • Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
  • Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
  • Mexican drinks bar: margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas
