Taco catering in Slaugham: local tips
Slaugham is about 5 miles south of Crawley, in West Sussex. Whether your event is in the middle of Slaugham or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Slaugham is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover. We cater right across the region, from Slaugham to Brighton (about 15 miles away).
Close to Slaugham are historic houses such as Tyes Place (1.8 miles east) and Ockenden Manor (3.6 miles south-east).

How our Mexican catering works in Slaugham
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: tacos on their own, or tacos with burritos, nachos and quesadillas. Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can come from our drinks bar, with licensing checked with you. We serve loaded nachos, burrito bowls and fresh salsas and guacamole, which works well for anniversaries and engagements and leaving dos and retirement parties.
For a rural spot like Slaugham, fields and drives need a little planning: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Planners, venues and businesses
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will let you know if it is a good fit.
What happens on the day
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A picture of the space helps. In Slaugham, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, 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.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We confirm the way in and where we will park.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
Before we arrive
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

Why choose Mexican catering in Slaugham?
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a larger team. A food truck or trailer is its own kitchen, so we need a suitable spot, access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
Why book with us
- Menus chosen with you
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch

About the menu
Tacos
Soft tortillas, warmed and filled, finished with salsas and toppings. Fillings are agreed with you, such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms.
Loaded nachos
Crisp tortilla chips loaded with toppings, salsa and guacamole.
Planning for every diet
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
Guests order at the hatch and we serve them there and then, so everything goes out hot.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.
Slaugham questions
Do you come out to small places like Slaugham?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
How far is Slaugham from central London?
About 32 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How big an event can you cater?
Our truck and trailer service generally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options.
Can you serve in bad weather?
The truck or trailer serves in the rain, though guests need a covered place to eat.
How does your Mexican catering work?
We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up at your venue, serve hot food to order and pack down afterwards.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a space will not work. The main points are:
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
