About our Mexican street food in Ripley
For festivals, numbers can be larger than most of our events, so tell us expected visitor numbers and trading hours and we will plan stock and service. On the menu are quesadillas, vegan tacos and burritos, which works well for street food and farmers’ markets and open days and community events.
At a fête or field event near Ripley, a truck or trailer brings hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Event catering near Ripley
Ripley is about 4 miles east of Woking, in Surrey. Anywhere in GU23, we will come to your venue or site. Ripley is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey where we can bring Mexican street food.
For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as Church of St Mary Magdalen, a taco truck adds hot food to the cakes and tombola. Visitors arriving by train will find that the nearest station is Clandon station, about 2.5 miles south. Shows and fairs in the Surrey Hills National Landscape, about 6 miles from Ripley at most, sometimes have rules on where traders can drive. Send us the site plan and we’ll plan around it.
For Mexican street food in GU23, we plan around your venue and the route in and your guests. Local streets include High Street, Dorton Way and Wentworth Close; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park.

Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.

The process
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. A December market in Ripley loses the light at about 3:55pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on our pitch.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Give us a contact for the day
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
