Questions from Ashampstead
How far is Ashampstead from London?
About 47 miles from central London.
Do you come to events in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you serve responsibly?
Our bar staff serve responsibly: alcohol-free drinks for under-18s, with water and alcohol-free choices on hand.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do you come to Ashampstead?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Ashampstead is within our area. For a quote, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.

Mexican bar hire or something else?

- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- A menu agreed with you
See our pricing or the cost guide.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
What Mexican bar hire costs
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- The number of people
- How many staff you need
- Whether you need disposables
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The date and rough timings
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Your menu ideas
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you’re ready, send a quick message through our quote form.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
How it works
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. Winter receptions in Ashampstead are dark by about 4:00pm in December, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:25pm.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We talk through licensing with you.
- You choose the drinks with us.
- We serve drinks responsibly on the day.
- We clear the bar at the end.
Before we arrive
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
