Planning a food truck in Rudgwick
Rudgwick is about 6 miles west of Horsham, in West Sussex. For an event in Rudgwick, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access. Rudgwick is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Rudgwick to Crawley (about 11 miles away).
If people are travelling in by rail, Christs Hospital station is about 4.6 miles away. When the service is at a church such as Holy Trinity Church, the food typically happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. With the Surrey Hills National Landscape about 7 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Rudgwick. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in.

How our Mexican catering works in Rudgwick
Planning taco catering for an event in Rudgwick? You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: a taco menu, or tacos plus loaded nachos, quesadillas and burrito bowls. Our Mexican drinks bar can be added too, with licensing checked with you. Popular choices include fresh salsas and guacamole, loaded nachos and a build-your-own taco bar, and it’s a good fit for markets and community events and charity and school events.
Somewhere as small as Rudgwick, a garden or field is often the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we will plan for them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. You will know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

What else we do in Rudgwick
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests. To get it right:
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
Guests order at the hatch and we serve them there and then, so everything goes out hot.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter or as a late snack.
