FAQs for Calcot
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Michael?
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.
How far is Calcot from London?
It is about 41 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
What does Mexican bar hire cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
How spicy is the food?
It is up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
Comparing your options
A self-service drinks table is simple but can run dry or go warm. Bar staff keep drinks flowing and cold. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

The process
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t generally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Sunset in Calcot is around 9:25pm in June, which suits an outdoor bar. For a bar running past dusk, ask the venue about outdoor lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
- We suggest a drinks list and send a quote.
- We arrive, set up and serve margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
- We pack away when the bar shuts and leave the area tidy.
How to prepare
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Tell us what power and water the site has
How to get a price
