Irons Bottom: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Emmanuel 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.
Can we hire your food truck for a private party in Irons Bottom?
Yes, as long as we are available on the date and can get the truck or trailer in. Let us know about access and where we’d park.
Can you keep it mild?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
Diets are planned with you in advance, though we cannot guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Do you cater in Irons Bottom?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Irons Bottom and the rest of Surrey. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Organising for someone else?
