Nearby historic houses include Parham House (4.5 miles west). Grand houses and estates tend to have firm rules on alcohol and outside bars, so raise the drinks bar with them early. If you are looking at a historic venue around Ashington, check its rules on outside bars and vehicles early. Ashington is within about 7 miles of the South Downs National Park, a lovely setting for drinks outdoors. Ask your venue about vehicle access for the truck or trailer.

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. A summer drinks reception in Ashington has daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, ideal for drinks outdoors. By late September, sunset is about 7:05pm, and in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting around the bar.

Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.

Ashington: your questions answered
We are having a ceremony at Ashington Methodist Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.

Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give 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.
Do you bring staff to serve the drinks?
Our bar staff run the bar. They serve responsibly.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
