Appley questions
Do you cater at coastal events near Appley?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
How far is Appley from London?
About 70 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
What drinks do you serve?
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, plus soft drinks. We plan the list with you.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll include them in the plan.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will talk it through.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.

Around Appley, historic houses include Nunwell House (2.9 miles south) and Morton Manor (3.5 miles south). Grand houses and estates tend to have firm rules on alcohol and outside bars, so raise the drinks bar with them early. Couples leaving a church such as St John's Church could be greeted with margaritas and aguas frescas at the reception. The coast is within about a mile of Appley. Wind, sand and the rules on alcohol in public places all need planning for a seaside bar.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.

Drinks planning tips

We adapt if the timings shift.

The process
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. Winter receptions in Appley are dark by about 4:00pm in December, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. Midsummer is the opposite, with daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We go through the licensing with you.
- We agree a drinks menu.
- We serve drinks responsibly on the day.
- We clear the bar at the end.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
