Shorne Ridgeway: your questions answered
Is it possible to have you in 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.
How far is Shorne Ridgeway from central London?
About 24 miles from central London, and well within our area.
When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
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 plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will check the licensing with you.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not typically stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Will someone run the bar?
Yes, our bar staff serve your guests. They serve responsibly.
