Mexican catering near Ridley
Planning the serving area
We will be honest if a space won’t work. The main points are:
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Mexican catering in Ridley, from our food truck or trailer
Keep it simple or go further: a taco menu, or tacos plus loaded nachos, quesadillas and burrito bowls. Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can come from our drinks bar. It works well for anniversaries and engagements and summer garden parties, with a build-your-own taco bar, burritos and loaded nachos.
Somewhere as small as Ridley, a garden or field is often the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer.

What else we do in Ridley
Ridley questions
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Which station should guests use for Ridley?
The closest is Meopham station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
How much space 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.
Do you cover Ridley?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Ridley and the rest of Kent. To check your date, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Ridley.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will suggest mild options.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
The process
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. A December event in Ridley will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
- Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
- We come back with menu ideas and a quote.
- Nearer the date, we go over the final plan.
- We serve hot food from our truck or trailer at the agreed time.
- We pack away when service is over.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Ask the venue about power and water

Ridley: venues, access and local tips
Ridley is about 6 miles south of Northfleet, in Kent. For Mexican catering in Ridley, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. We serve in all 922 towns and villages in Kent. We cater right across the region, from Ridley to London (21 miles away).
If people are travelling in by rail, the nearest station is Meopham station, about 2.6 miles north-east. When the service is at a church such as Church of Saint Peter, the food generally happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. With the Kent Downs National Landscape about 7 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Ridley. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in.
Wherever your event is in TN15, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. For events just outside Ridley, we cover New Street (1 mile east), Hodsoll Street (1 mile south), South Street (1 mile east), New Ash Green (1 mile north-west) and Culverstone Green (2 miles south-east). Further out, we also cater in Maidstone (11 miles south-east), Dartford (8 miles north-west), Sevenoaks (8 miles south-west), Royal Tunbridge Wells (15 miles south), Gravesend (6 miles north-east) and Tonbridge (11 miles south).
Nearby you’ll also find Ightham Court (4.4 miles south) and Coldrum Long Barrow (3.1 miles south-east).
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
We work around your timings, and adapt if they move.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we will set out what we can do in your quote.
Comparing your options
Sit-down meals need a kitchen, tables and more staff. A food truck or trailer is its own kitchen, so we need a suitable spot, access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we’ll set out what’s included.
