What else we do in River
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Hosting a taco party in River
River is about 12 miles east of Petersfield, in West Sussex. Across the GU28 area, we can bring the truck or trailer to you, as long as there’s access. River is one of 371 places in West Sussex where we can bring Mexican party catering. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 17 miles away.
Families celebrating a christening at a church such as The Parish Church of St Peter might carry on at a garden or hall where we can park up. For a party in the countryside, the South Downs National Park is within about 4 miles. Rural gardens and fields work well for a truck, given firm ground and a way in.

How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
How is the food prepared?

Mexican party catering or something else?
