Mexican party catering near Crabtree
Mexican party catering in Crabtree, from our truck or trailer
You get to enjoy your own party: no shopping, no prep and no hours in the kitchen. We take care of the food. For summer garden parties and graduation celebrations, we will put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, guacamole and salsas and loaded nachos.
In a small place like Crabtree, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground, and we will plan around it. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Who books Mexican party catering in Crabtree?
It works for almost any celebration, from a first birthday to a ruby wedding.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Typical bookings include:
- Big birthdays
- Christenings and naming days
- Engagement and anniversary parties
- Housewarming parties
A birthday picnic in Leonardslee sounds fun, but bringing in a catering vehicle needs the owner’s agreement.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who provides plates and napkins
- Where to see their hygiene rating
- The wet-weather plan
- Whether VAT is included

How the day works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A photo of the space helps. A summer party in Crabtree stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick the fillings and extras.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- Service starts at the agreed time.
- We tidy up and leave you to enjoy the party.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Tell us what power and water the site has

Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
Crabtree parties: what to know
Crabtree is about 5 miles south-east of Horsham, in West Sussex. From the centre of Crabtree to the outskirts, Mexican party catering works the same way: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cater in 371 places in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Crabtree to Brighton (14 miles away).
Close to Crabtree are historic houses such as Tyes Place (4.3 miles north-east) and Ockenden Manor (4.9 miles east). If you’re hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers and vehicles first. Families celebrating a christening at a church such as Old Church House the Glebe might carry on at a garden or hall where we can park up.
Anywhere in RH13, we can bring Mexican party catering to you. We can cater a party on streets such as Mill Lane, Peppersgate and Long Hill or the roads around them. For parties just outside Crabtree, we cover Lower Beeding (1 mile north), Colwood (1 mile south-east), Monk's Gate (2 miles north-west), Plummers Plain (2 miles north-east) and Mannings Heath (2 miles north-west). Further out, we also cater in Crawley (7 miles north-east), Horsham (5 miles north-west), Worthing (14 miles south-west), Haywards Heath (7 miles east), Burgess Hill (7 miles south-east) and East Grinstead (13 miles north-east).
Nearby you will also find Horsham Hospital (4.9 miles north-west). The countryside around Crabtree includes Knepp Wildland.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Measure your gate or driveway
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Have bins ready
We keep our serving area tidy and safe, with space for a queue.
Nachos for sharing as a starter.
How we price Mexican party catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Serving staff
- The length of service
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Food, drinks or both
There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican party catering. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The address or venue name
- Expected numbers
- Your date and when you want service to start
- What you’d like on the menu
Send us the date, your venue or RH13 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.

Questions from Crabtree
Will you travel to a small place like Crabtree?
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.
We’re having a ceremony at Old Church House the Glebe: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
How far ahead should we book?
Early is best, but ask even if it is soon. Send your date and we will check.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
