Questions from Rock-a-Nore
We’re having a ceremony at Ebenezer Particular Baptist Chapel: can you cater afterwards?
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 will check the access.
Is Rock-a-Nore close to London?
About 54 miles from central London.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
What do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Hiring the truck or trailer usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.

Tacos made to order at the hatch, with a choice of fillings agreed with you.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
At the end of service, we close the hatch and pack down and drive off quietly.
Simple quesadillas suit younger guests, if you’d like a kids’ choice.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
