These are the factors that matter most:
- Travel, parking and access
- The number of people

- What the venue already provides
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.

- How we drive in and where we can park
- Expected numbers

How our Mexican catering works in Rock
Need taco catering in Rock? Tacos are the heart of the menu: warmed tortillas, a choice of fillings, and salsas, guacamole and toppings to finish. Burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas can sit alongside them. It suits weddings and evening receptions and family celebrations, serving quesadillas, fresh salsas and guacamole and loaded nachos.
In a hamlet or village like Rock, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Who books Mexican catering in Rock?
Every order goes out hot, rather than sitting out on a buffet table.
In Rock and nearby, we can cater all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:
- Festivals, fairs and markets
- Milestone birthdays
- Leaving dos and retirement parties
- Weddings and evening receptions
When the service is at a church such as The Parish Church of St Mary, the food normally happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck.
Before booking anyone
- How bad weather is handled
- Travel and parking costs
- The caterer’s food hygiene rating
- The venue requirements
For event organisers in Rock
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
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.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Count children separately
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
We work around your timings, and adapt if they move.
Add our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.

Rock: your questions answered
How far is Rock from London?
It’s about 43 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you cater a reception after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What if it rains?
The truck or trailer serves in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us about the venue and the way in, and we’ll check it works. We also need room for a queue.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
How it works
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. Around midsummer it stays light in Rock until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
How to prepare
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Find out what power and water are available
- Name one person we can ask on the day
Ask for a quote
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
