Mexican street food in Rock-a-Nore, served fresh
One Mexican trader covers several diets: there are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas. That makes your food line-up easier. We serve loaded nachos, burrito bowls and quesadillas, which works well for community events and open days and school fairs and fundraisers.
For events in a place like Rock-a-Nore, one hot-food trader that suits most diets makes life easy. Tacos and burritos can do exactly that. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Rock-a-Nore questions
Is Rock-a-Nore close to London?
It’s about 54 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you trade at a school fair in Rock-a-Nore?
Yes, if the school is happy and there’s access for the truck or trailer. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send your requirements and we will respond with our documents.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
- Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
- Mexican drinks bar: margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas
