Questions from Ropley Dean
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Peter: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Is Ropley Dean close to London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you cover Ropley Dean?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Ropley Dean and across Hampshire. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, including Hampshire. Find your area.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
What’s on the menu
Burritos and burrito bowls
A burrito is a meal in one. Bowls suit guests who want to skip the tortilla.
Quesadillas
Tortillas filled with melted cheese and a filling, toasted until crisp, cut into wedges.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
When service ends, we pack down and clear our area quietly.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas.

Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- How long we are needed on site
- Travel, parking and access
- How many staff you need
Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

- What you’d like on the menu
