Ridgewood questions
Do you come to events in the South Downs National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Ridgewood?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, always. We serve vegan fillings such as black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Can you come to a private house?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?
Fillings are cooked ahead and kept hot, so orders are assembled quickly.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Mexican street food or something else?
Some traders struggle with vegan and gluten-free visitors. Our menu includes vegan and gluten-free options. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
What you get with us
- Menus for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests
- Quoted for your event
- A plan agreed before the day
- Served fresh from our food truck or trailer

Can I do a taco night myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
The process
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. By late September, it is dark in Ridgewood at around 7:05pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Getting ready for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
How to get a price
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send you a clear quote and a suggested menu.

What we need at the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level pitch on firm ground
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
- The event’s site rules and timings
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
