Mexican catering for Tisman's Common events
Step by step
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our food truck or trailer, and serve without fuss. Winter evenings in Tisman's Common close in by about 3:55pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- Access, the serving spot, power and water are agreed in advance.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Tell us when you want service to start

Mexican catering in Tisman's Common, served fresh
The menu starts with tacos: warmed tortillas, a choice of fillings, and salsas, guacamole and toppings to finish. Burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas can sit alongside them. It suits leaving dos and retirement parties and engagement celebrations, serving burritos, fresh salsas and guacamole and quesadillas.
For a rural spot like Tisman's Common, fields and drives need a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer.

Working with your venue
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Taco catering in Tisman's Common: local tips
Tisman's Common is about 7 miles west of Horsham, in West Sussex. For an event in Tisman's Common, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access. Tisman's Common is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we can bring Mexican catering. We cater right across the region, from Tisman's Common to Guildford (about 12 miles away).
When the service is at a church such as St John the Baptist, the food typically happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. With the Surrey Hills National Landscape about 8 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Tisman's Common. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in.
Wherever your event is in RH12, we can bring Mexican catering to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. From Hornshill Lane and Loxwood Road or a nearby road, we’ll plan where to park and serve. Nearby, we also cater events in Bucks Green (1 mile east), Rudgwick (1 mile east), The Haven (2 miles south-east), Slinfold (3 miles south-east) and Five Oaks (3 miles south-east). We also cater in nearby towns such as Crawley (12 miles east), Horsham (7 miles east), Broadfield (12 miles east), Storrington (11 miles south), Billingshurst (5 miles south) and Bewbush (11 miles east).
- Local schools include Rudgwick Primary School (1 mile east)
- Nearby, you’ll find The Queen's Head Public House (0.7 miles east)
How it compares
Next to a hog roast or a barbecue, Mexican street food is easier for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, thanks to separate fillings and toppings. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
What we offer in Tisman's Common

Take a look at how we price and what Mexican catering costs.
How we price Mexican catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Travel, parking and access
- Timings and hours
- What the venue already provides
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- The date and rough timings
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will make suggestions. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Common questions in Tisman's Common
Will you travel to a small place like Tisman's Common?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
What if it rains?
The truck or trailer serves in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
We park our truck or trailer at your venue and serve hot Mexican street food from it. A build-your-own taco bar is another option.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, 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.
What’s on the menu
Loaded nachos
Crisp tortilla chips loaded with toppings, salsa and guacamole.
Salsas and guacamole
Salsas and guacamole, made fresh for your event.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Make sure the menu has a vegan option
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
If timings change on the day, tell us and we’ll adjust.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.
Occasions we cater for in Tisman's Common
People like choosing their own toppings, and the taco bar gets them talking while they queue.
If you’re planning any of these, we can help:
- Garden parties
- Leaving parties
- Company summer parties
- Fundraisers and school events
Parents planning a fundraiser at a school like Pennthorpe School might find a Mexican street-food truck draws families in.
