Mexican catering in Soldridge, served fresh
Looking for taco catering in Soldridge? We slow-cook the fillings ahead and finish them on site, while the salsas and guacamole are made fresh. We warm the tortillas as each order goes out. On the menu are burrito bowls, burritos and quesadillas, and it suits garden get-togethers and fundraisers and school events.
In a rural place like Soldridge, 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 serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.
The process
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event. Evenings in Soldridge stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm. For anything running past sunset, think about lights near the hatch.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Ask the venue about power and water

Common questions in Soldridge
Do you come out to small places like Soldridge?
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.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of the Good Shepherd: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
What do you need at the venue?
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.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
How many guests can you cater for?
Our service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Bigger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
- 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
