It works well for garden get-togethers and engagement and anniversary parties, with quesadillas, fresh salsas and guacamole and loaded nachos.
Somewhere like Sheldwich, a field or garden is often the setting. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
We can still serve from the hatch if it rains, though guests need somewhere under cover to eat.
Add our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
How it works
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. From late May to late September, sunset in Sheldwich moves from about 8:45pm to 7:00pm. If your event carries on later, tell us what lighting the venue has.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We confirm the way in and where we’ll park.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
