Common questions in Rock-a-Nore
Could you serve our guests after a service at Ebenezer Particular Baptist Chapel?
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 Rock-a-Nore?
The closest is Ore station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Are plates and napkins included?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.
What does Mexican party catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll check the licensing with you and your venue.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you have vegan options?
We keep vegetarian and vegan fillings separate, and every dish is labelled. Ask anyone with a severe allergy to speak to us first.
Catering for every guest
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Measure your gate or driveway
- Count adults and children separately
Rain doesn’t stop the hatch, though guests will want cover to eat under.
Extra salsas and toppings for the taco bar.
Should I do it myself?
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 will do the serving.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Events we cater in Rock-a-Nore
It brings a bit of holiday feeling to a garden party.
Whatever the occasion, the serving truck can be a highlight. We can cater:
- Garden get-togethers
- Street and neighbourhood parties
- New-home celebrations
- Leaving dos and retirements
Parks such as Linton Gardens usually need permission for vehicles and catering, so a garden or hired venue is often easier.

Working with your venue
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will let you know if it is a good fit.
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
The process
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. For a winter party in Rock-a-Nore, it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, so think about how guests will see their way to the truck. In late June, it stays light until about 9:15pm.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick the fillings and extras.
- We confirm power, water and the way in.
- Service starts at the agreed time.
- We pack away and the party carries on.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Find out what power and water are available
