FAQs for Brighstone
Can you cater a reception after a service at St. Mary's Church?

Will you travel to a small place like Brighstone?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.
Do you do drinks only?
Yes, though it pairs well with tacos. Ask about adding tacos and burritos.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, 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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
