Catering for every guest
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
Guests order at the hatch and we serve them there and then, so it is hot when it reaches them.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas.

Our truck and trailer service tends to suit around 50 to 400 guests. Larger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case, so let us know how many you expect. At weddings and evening receptions and company summer parties, we will put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, quesadillas and burrito bowls and more.
There may be a hall or club near Rochester Riverside if your garden is small; a truck or trailer can work at any of them, with permission and a level spot. You’ll know what’s included before booking: menu, timings and any add-ons.

How it compares
Burgers and pizza are what guests often expect. Tacos, burritos and nachos feel a little different, while still being easy food most people enjoy. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.

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.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Perfect for your event in Rochester Riverside
There’s no kitchen needed at the venue, so it works in gardens, fields and grounds without catering facilities.

What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- The venue or postcode
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Your date and when you want service to start
- A picture of where we’d park
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.

Rochester Riverside questions
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Which station is closest to Rochester Riverside?
Guests can use Rochester station, which is right in Rochester Riverside.
Can you cater for special diets?
Diets are planned in advance, with options kept separate, though we cannot guarantee a kitchen with no trace of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us first.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll recommend how to serve.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you cover Rochester Riverside?
Yes, we do. Rochester Riverside is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
