Taco bar hire near Crawley
Questions from Crawley
Do you cater in villages like Crawley?
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.
Is Crawley close to London?
It’s about 62 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Do you cook on site?
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.
Who looks after the taco bar?
We set up and stay to keep the bar hot and stocked through service.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Taco bar hire in Crawley, served fresh
Fillings are agreed with you, such as pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, with a vegan filling like black bean and sweet potato or spiced mushroom. On the menu are a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and pickled onions and toppings, which works well for retirement parties and birthday celebrations.
Near Crawley, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. Our staff set up the station and run it through service; tell us about access and parking. You will know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
Where the truck can go in Crawley
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- Power and water, which we confirm when you book
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
- A parking or loading spot near the serving area
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Menu ideas
- Vegan fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Two to four fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
How it works
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our truck or trailer, and serve without fuss. In Crawley, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is usually served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Share a few details about the event.
- We send a sample spread and a quote.
- Access, power and water are agreed beforehand.
- We set up the station and keep everything hot.
- At the end, we take everything away.
Preparing for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Ask the venue about power and water

Comparing your options
Plated meals depend on a kitchen and a team of waiting staff. For a taco bar, we need a serving spot, a nearby place to unload and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
