Cold Ash: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Cold Ash?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St. Mark's Church?
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.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do you provide bar staff?
We bring bar staff, and serve throughout the agreed hours.
Who handles the licensing?
That depends on your venue. If the venue has no licence, a Temporary Event Notice may be needed. We’ll go through the licensing with you.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
Why choose Mexican bar hire in Cold Ash?
Wine and fizz are classic but expected. Margaritas and Mexican beer feel more relaxed. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
