Mexican street food near Ripple
Mexican street food in Ripple, from our food truck or trailer
We agree a stall menu with you, perhaps chicken tinga, carnitas or birria, and a vegan filling like black beans. On the menu are vegan tacos, tacos and loaded nachos, and it suits summer fairs and fêtes and open-air performances.
Rural events near Ripple can be a long way from food outlets, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Should I do it 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.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. 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.
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Ripple? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.

Which station is closest to Ripple?

How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.

We plan stock and service around your expected numbers, so queues keep moving.
Can you do dairy-free food?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.

We cover London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Event catering near Ripple
Ripple is about 2 miles south-west of Deal, in Kent. We cater events at homes, gardens and venues in Ripple and nearby villages. Ripple is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 13 miles away.
Organisers of a summer fête for a church such as Church of St Mary the Virgin could add tacos and burritos alongside the bric-a-brac. A school such as St Mary's Catholic Primary School running a summer fair could book a taco truck. Seafront festivals and markets, with the coast within about 3 miles of Ripple, need the organiser’s permission for traders. Send us the pitch details and we will check access.
We serve at events all over the CT14 postcode area. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Mongeham Road, Sunnyside Close and Sutton Lane.

Before you choose a spot
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- The event’s site rules and timings
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
How it works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A photo of the space helps. By late September, it’s dark in Ripple at around 7:00pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Tell us how the site will be lit when you send the pitch details.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we’re ready before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
