Crawley Down: your questions answered

We’re having a ceremony at All Saints Parish Church: can you cater afterwards?

Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.

Which station should guests use for Crawley Down?

The closest is East Grinstead station, roughly 2.5 miles away.

What guest numbers do you cater for?

Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are looked at case by case. Share your headcount and we will size the bar to suit.

Do you do parties at home?

It depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a picture and we’ll talk it through.

Can guests build tacos at a wedding breakfast?

It can serve the wedding meal, the evening or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue.

What’s on the menu?

We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.

Do you provide plates and napkins?

That’s confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.

Do you stay to run the taco bar?

We run the station ourselves, so you do not need helpers. We pack it away afterwards.

DIY taco night or a caterer?

For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.

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. Our taco bar guide explains how.

Diets, allergies and planning

A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:

  • Include a vegan filling on the bar
  • Put guests with serious allergies in touch with us early
  • Agree the serving spot with your venue early
  • Let us know about anyone who is coeliac

A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains.

Ask us about plates, napkins and cutlery and we will confirm what’s possible in your quote.

  • Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
  • Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
  • Mexican drinks bar: margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas
