Planning an event in Appleshaw?
Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
Mexican catering in Appleshaw, served fresh
We plan each menu with the client, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. For garden get-togethers and retirement and leaving parties, we can serve burritos, tacos and quesadillas and more.
In a small place like Appleshaw, events are generally in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
Rain does not stop us serving from the truck or trailer, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we will set out what we can do in your quote.
