What happens on the day
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event. At midsummer, it is light in Astwood until about 9:25pm, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. In late September it’s dark around 7:05pm, and in December by about 3:50pm, so evening bars need lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- We talk licensing through with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- We put together a drinks menu, with alcohol-free choices, and quote for it.
- On the day we set up the bar and our bar staff serve your guests.
- We pack away when the bar shuts and leave the area tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.

For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Tips for a smooth bar
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Plan any Temporary Event Notice well ahead
- Plan water alongside the bar
- Include aguas frescas for non-drinkers
- Tell us when the bar should open and close
Responsible serving comes first: no alcohol for under-18s, and we may refuse service to anyone who has had too much.
Aguas frescas for children and non-drinkers.

Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long we are needed on site
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Distance and access to the venue
- What the venue already provides
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- What you’d like on the menu
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Roughly how many adults and children
- A picture of where we’d park

Astwood questions
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Peter?
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. Send us the reception address.
Will you travel to a small place like Astwood?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How spicy is the food?
It’s up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
Is there something for non-drinkers?
Always. Aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata are alcohol-free, along with soft drinks.
Do you check ages at the bar?
Always. Under-18s are not served alcohol, and anyone who has had too much will not be served more.
