About our Mexican street food in Ropley
We work to your trader pack and site rules, from arrival times to waste. On the menu are burrito bowls, vegan tacos and burritos, and it is a good fit for outdoor cinema and theatre nights and hospitality and crew areas.
Near Ropley, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, with allergen information for everything we serve.
What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Trader information and site rules
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
Running an event in Ropley
Ropley is about 7 miles south-west of Alton, in Hampshire. Events in Ropley are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. Ropley is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we can bring Mexican street food. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Ropley to Southampton (18 miles away).
A fundraiser for a church like Church of St Peter might use a food truck to give visitors a reason to stay longer.
Anywhere in SO24, we can bring Mexican street food to you. Streets in the area include School Lane, Church Lane and Hammond's Lane, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. If your venue is just outside Ropley, we also cover Ropley Dean (1 mile west), Gilbert Street (1 mile north-east), North Street (1 mile north), Kitwood (2 miles north-east) and Monkwood (2 miles south-east). Further out, we also cater in Basingstoke (13 miles north), Winchester (10 miles west), Eastleigh (14 miles south-west), Horndean (12 miles south), Chandler's Ford (15 miles south-west) and Alton (7 miles north-east).
Well-known places in the area include Barton Castle (4.1 miles north) and Alton Community Hospital (5.6 miles north-east). Not far away are Shutts Copse and Red Hill.
The process
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A picture of the space helps. Christmas markets in Ropley trade in the dark from about 4:00pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:25pm.
- You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- You get our stall menu, what we need at the pitch and the paperwork you request.
- On the day, we arrive in the set-up window and get ready to trade.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- We pack away and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat

Dietary needs and planning tips
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Check allergen information is on display
- Tell traders about power and water before the day
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Make sure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
Allergen details are on hand for every dish.
Burrito bowls for gluten-free visitors.
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.

Questions from Ropley
Do you cater in villages like Ropley?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Is Ropley close to London?
About 51 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Can you bring margaritas?
That depends on licensing. Let us know how alcohol is licensed at your event.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
What’s on the menu?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Can you feed our volunteers?
Yes, timed to your schedule. Send us numbers and times.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will talk licensing through with you.
