Taco bar hire near Ropley
How our taco bar hire works in Ropley
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: keeping the fillings hot, warming tortillas and topping up the bowls. Your hosts can stay with their guests. At engagement parties and barn and marquee parties, we will put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, guacamole and burrito bowls.
For a rural spot like Ropley, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we will confirm power and water with you. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
What’s on the menu
Hot fillings
A few fillings give guests plenty of choice, including a vegan one. We agree them with you.
Vegan fillings
Vegan guests get a proper filling of their own.

Why choose taco bar hire in Ropley?
The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. At the hatch, we make each order; at the bar, guests build their own. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.

Common questions in Ropley
Will you travel to a small place 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.
How far is Ropley from central London?
About 51 miles from central London.
Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
It can serve the wedding meal, the evening or both. We agree the timings with your venue, and guests build their own plates.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
It can go beside the truck or trailer, or somewhere a vehicle can’t reach. Either way, we need to unload nearby and have the venue’s permission.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Fit the bar into your running order
- Count children separately
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
After the last plate, we take the bar down, then load our vehicle.
Extra salsas, from mild to hot, let guests choose their own heat.
Space, access and the venue
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Room nearby to park and unload our vehicle
- The venue’s agreement for the taco bar and our vehicle
- Easy access from where we unload to the table
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
