Mexican party catering in Ridley, from our truck or trailer
You get to enjoy your own party: no shopping, no cooking and no washing up of pans. The food is our job. At family get-togethers and neighbourhood celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, tacos and burritos.
Near Ridley, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground, and we will plan the set-up. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Planning a party in Ridley
Ridley is about 6 miles south of Northfleet, in Kent. Across the TN15 area, we will come to your venue or site. Ridley is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring Mexican party catering. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Ridley to London (21 miles away).
For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Meopham station, about 2.6 miles north-east. Around Ridley, historic houses include Cobham College (4 miles north-east). A milestone birthday in a historic setting is possible, but find out early whether a food truck can get on site. Ridley is within about 7 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, so a garden party here may come with a lovely view. Country lanes can be narrow, so tell us about the route in.
We cover parties in every part of the TN15 postcode area and the streets around it. If your venue is just outside Ridley, we also 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). Larger places within reach include 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).
Well-known places in the area include Ightham Court (4.4 miles south) and Coldrum Long Barrow (3.1 miles south-east).
The menu, item by item
Tacos
Soft tacos with your choice of filling, served hot from the truck or trailer.
Quesadillas
Crisp quesadillas, cut into wedges.
Catering for every guest
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
- Ensure there’s a vegan option
- Ask guests with serious allergies to talk to us first
- Plan where rubbish goes
If it rains, we can still serve from the truck or trailer, but plan a gazebo or indoor space for eating.
A wider choice of salsas and toppings.
What we need at the venue
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Space for guests to queue
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- A photo of the drive or garden helps us check the space
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.

Why choose Mexican party catering in Ridley?
It works for almost any celebration, from christenings to retirements.
In Ridley and nearby, we can cater all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:
- Summer garden parties
- Street and neighbourhood parties
- Graduation and exam-results parties
- Naming days and christenings
Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Church of Saint Peter, with a party at home or in a hall afterwards.
Questions to ask before booking
- Where to see their hygiene rating
- When final numbers are due
- How many staff are serving, and for how long
- What the caterer needs from your venue
Ridley: your questions answered
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of Saint Peter?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Do you cater in villages like Ridley?
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.
How much is a taco truck for a party?
There is no fixed price list, as each party is different. Send your details and we will send a quote.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Are plates and napkins included?
That is confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we’ll talk it through.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll suggest mild options.
Step by step
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. At midsummer, it is light in Ridley until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- Tell us when and where, and how many.
- You get a menu and a quote.
- We check access and arrive before your guests.
- Food is served from the hatch or the taco bar.
- We pack down after service.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Ask the venue about power and water
