What happens on the day

In late September it is dark around 7:10pm, and in December by about 3:55pm, so evening bars need lighting.

What else we do in Cane End
Cane End: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Cane End?
Guests can use Tilehurst station, about 2.8 miles south of Cane End.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St John the Baptist: can you cater afterwards?
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.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can we have the bar on its own?
Yes. The bar can be booked on its own.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
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.
