Taco catering in Thakeham: local tips
Thakeham is about 8 miles north of Worthing, in West Sussex. Events in Thakeham are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. Thakeham is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 15 miles away.
If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like The Parish Church of St Mary, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal. Nearby historic houses include Parham House (3.6 miles south-west) and Old Place Manor (4 miles west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and vehicles early. Venues in and around the South Downs National Park, within about 6 miles of Thakeham, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before you book.
We serve at events all over RH20. We can cater an event on streets such as The Street, Bramble Lane and Cray's Lane or the roads around them. Nearby, we also cater events in Abingworth (1 mile south-west), Warminghurst (1 mile south-east), Goose Green (1 mile north-east), West Chiltington (1 mile north-west) and Heath Common (1 mile south). Further out, we also cater in Crawley (15 miles north-east), Horsham (9 miles north-east), Worthing (8 miles south), Haywards Heath (15 miles east), Burgess Hill (13 miles east) and Littlehampton (10 miles south-west).
Well-known places in the area include The Storrington And District Museum (2.2 miles south-west). Open spaces near Thakeham include Knepp Wildland and Chanctonbury Hill.
How our Mexican catering works in Thakeham
Tacos are the heart of the menu: warm tortillas with your choice of fillings, plus fresh salsas, guacamole and toppings. We can add burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. On the menu are a build-your-own taco bar, tacos and burritos, and it suits leaving dos and retirement parties and engagement and anniversary parties.
Somewhere as small as Thakeham, 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’ll know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
