Common questions in Carlton Hill

Could you serve our guests after a service at Greek Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity?

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 Carlton Hill from central London?

About 47 miles from central London, and well within our area.

What food and drinks do you offer?

We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might 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.

Do you need power and water?

Let us know what’s available on site, for instance a supply from the venue, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.

What do you need at the venue?

The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.

Can you cater for children?

Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.

Can we have the bar on its own?

You can. The bar can be booked on its own.

Can you keep it mild?

It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.

How the day works

On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we have agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. Winter receptions in Carlton Hill are dark by about 3:55pm in December, so plan where guests will gather, and how it will be lit. Midsummer is the opposite, with daylight until about 9:15pm.

  1. You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
  2. Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
  3. We put together a drinks menu, with alcohol-free choices, and quote for it.
  4. On the day, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
  5. After service, we clear the bar away.

How to prepare

  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
  • Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
  • Measure any gates or arches on the way in

Getting a price

We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, send a quick message through our quote form.

Planning help

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, with allergen information for every dish.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

What we need at the venue

If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:

  • A spot away from neighbours’ windows if the bar runs late
  • The venue’s permission for an outside bar
  • A flat, firm spot for the bar

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

On the menu in Carlton Hill

  • Margaritas
  • Horchata
  • Fruit aguas frescas
  • Soft drinks
  • Mexican beer
  • Agua de jamaica (hibiscus)

Serving alcohol in Queen's Park would need the owner’s permission and probably a licence, so a garden or venue is often simpler. Couples leaving a church such as Greek Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity could be greeted with margaritas and aguas frescas at the reception. With the South Downs National Park within about 7 miles, a countryside drinks reception is an option. Check how the venue handles outside bars and vehicles. The coast is within about a mile of Carlton Hill. Wind, sand and the rules on alcohol in public places all need planning for a seaside bar.
