Mexican street food for Norcot events
Mexican street food for your event in Norcot
Crew and volunteer meals are timed to suit you, so your team eats well on a long day. It suits open-air performances and race days and sports events, with burritos, vegan tacos and quesadillas.
For events in a place like Norcot, one hot-food trader that suits most diets makes life easy. Tacos and burritos can do exactly that. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.

FAQs for Norcot
Is Norcot close to London?
About 40 miles from central London.
Could you serve in Round Copse?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Can you cater for crew and volunteers?
Yes. Crew, volunteer and hospitality catering is available, with or without a public stall.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, for instance a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide 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.

Step by step
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Christmas markets in Norcot trade in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:25pm.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- On the day, we’re ready before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
