Can I do a taco night myself?
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, and handles allergen information for you.

Mexican street food for your event in Rochester
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, which keeps the queue moving at busy times. It works well for summer fairs and fêtes and sports club events, serving burritos, quesadillas and tacos.
In Rochester, a good food trader can make an event. Tacos, burritos and nachos cover meat eaters, vegetarians and vegans from one pitch. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.
The process
On the day, 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. Christmas markets in Rochester trade in the dark from about 3:50pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
