About our Mexican street food in Noke Common
We work to your trader pack and site rules, from arrival times to waste. On the menu are burrito bowls, burritos and quesadillas, which works well for outdoor cinema and theatre nights and race days and sports events.
Rural events near Noke Common can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food truck is a big help. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
The process
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. A December market in Noke Common loses the light at about 4:00pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Preparing for the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Give us your final numbers and diets
How to get a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
Planning help
Planning the serving area
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
Out-of-the-way places like Noke Common take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.

Is it possible to have you in Seaclose Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Noke Common?
Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?

Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
