About our Mexican catering in Shorne Ridgeway

It works well for markets and community events and engagement and anniversary parties, with tacos, loaded nachos and quesadillas.
In a rural place like Shorne Ridgeway, access is the main thing to plan: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

FAQs for Shorne Ridgeway
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Shorne Woods Country Park?
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’ll send what they need from us.
Which station should guests use for Shorne Ridgeway?
Higham station, about 2 miles north-east of the centre.

Can you set up at our venue?
Send us details of the venue and the access, and we will check it works. We also need room for a queue.

Rain doesn’t usually stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.

Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Send us a photo of the access and the space.

- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

A closer look at the menu
Tacos
Soft tortillas, warmed and filled, topped with salsa and fresh toppings. Fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms are agreed with you.
Burritos and burrito bowls
Rice, beans, a filling and toppings rolled in a large tortilla, or served as a bowl instead.
Planning for every diet
We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests. To get it right:
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Send allergy details to us in writing
On the day, we arrive in good time to park up and get ready. All we need is someone to show us the agreed spot.
Quesadillas go down well with children, because they’re simple.
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
