Step by step
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, planned around your event. A late-September party in Botley loses the light at about 7:10pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. In late May, it stays light until about 8:55pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
- We check the licensing with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- We suggest a drinks list and send a quote.

FAQs for Botley
Is Botley close to London?
About 65 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
What about power on site?
Tell us what the site has, for instance a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Do you have a licence to sell alcohol?
It depends on the venue. Some venues have a premises licence; others need a Temporary Event Notice. We talk it through with you.
Do you serve responsibly?
Responsible serving comes first: alcohol-free drinks for under-18s, and we offer water and alcohol-free choices throughout.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
