FAQs for Buxted
Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
What does Mexican bar hire cost?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a quote.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. Evening drinks in Buxted stay light until about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so a summer drinks bar can run into the evening in daylight. String lights or lanterns near the hatch make a later bar easier to find.
- First, we check your date.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We tidy up at the end.
Getting ready for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
Getting a price
Send us the date, your venue or TN22 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and you will get menu ideas and a price. Just tell us about it on our contact page.
