FAQs for Ashurst
Could you serve our guests after a service at Colbury Christ Church?
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’ll check the access.
Do you come out to small places like Ashurst?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, Hampshire included. Find your area.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll include them in the plan.
