What else we do in Ripe
Planning the serving area
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A route in that is wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Ripe: your questions answered
Do you cater 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.
How far is Ripe from central London?
About 45 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Can you handle dietary needs at our wedding?
Yes. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
Is Mexican street food too casual for a wedding?
It can be as relaxed or as polished as you like, depending on the presentation and the venue.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
How spicy is the food?
It’s up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
What does wedding Mexican catering cost?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Comparing your options
A taco bar is less formal than a plated meal, but with good presentation it still feels special. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
