About our food truck hire in Ropley
Service is planned around your timings: a lunchtime window, an evening service or a longer slot through a party. Let us know your running order. It works well for launch events and weddings, with burrito bowls, loaded nachos and burritos.
In a rural place like Ropley, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Comparing your options
A private hire is not the same as a festival stall. At a festival we trade to the public; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.

Tell us what serveware you need and we’ll confirm what’s possible.
Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
- Power and water, confirmed with each booking
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
How the day works
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. Late-September events in Ropley see sunset at about 7:10pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:55pm.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
How to prepare
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
