Planning an event in Abbey Wood?

Should I do it myself?

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

What we need at the venue

We will agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:

  • A clear area in front of the bar
  • Licensing checked with you before the day
  • The venue’s permission for an outside bar

In Abbey Wood, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Common questions in Abbey Wood

Could you serve in Abbey Wood Park?

Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.

Which station should guests use for Abbey Wood?

Abbey Wood station, about 0.5 miles north-east of the centre.

What can we have at the bar?

Margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We plan the list with you.

How long are you on site?

We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.

Is there a minimum number of guests?

That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.

Do you cater for vegetarian guests?

Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.

What happens if it rains?

We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.

What do you serve?

We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.

How the day works

We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. In December, the light goes in Abbey Wood at about 3:50pm, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. Midsummer is the opposite, with daylight until about 9:20pm.
