How our Mexican catering works in Ridgewood
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish. It works well for weddings, day or evening and engagement celebrations, with fresh salsas and guacamole, burrito bowls and tacos.
For a place the size of Ridgewood, your own garden or drive is often the best venue: no venue to hire and no cooking for you. Tell us about access down the lane or drive. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Catering for every guest
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
When service ends, we pack down and clear our area, leaving the space as we found it.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Whether you need disposables
- Guest numbers
- How long we are needed on site
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Expected numbers
- What you’d like on the menu
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. When you’re ready, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

FAQs for Ridgewood
Could you serve in Hempstead Meadow?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Which station should guests use for Ridgewood?
The closest is Uckfield station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including East Sussex. Find your area.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Who clears up?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we’ll keep their options separate.
How it compares
Sit-down meals need a kitchen, tables and more staff. A food truck or trailer is its own kitchen, and needs a suitable spot, safe access and the venue’s agreement. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
