FAQs for Burghclere Common
What’s the nearest station to Burghclere Common for guests?
Newbury station, about 2.7 miles north of the centre.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of the Ascension?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
What if it rains?
The truck or trailer serves in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
What do you need at the venue?
Send us details of the venue and the access, and we’ll confirm what we need. We also need room for a queue.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will talk licensing through with you.
How many guests can you cater for?
Our service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case.
Mexican catering or something else?
Platters dropped off in the morning are easy but forgettable. Live service from a truck or trailer gives guests hot food and something to talk about. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
