Downley: your questions answered
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Will you travel to a small place like Downley?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Can we book the bar without food?
Yes. The bar can be booked on its own.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
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.
Is there something for non-drinkers?
Every bar has alcohol-free choices, from aguas frescas to soft drinks.
Planning drinks for every guest
A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:
- Share bar opening times
- Plan alcohol-free drinks for drivers
- Check allergies with guests, including for drinks
- Have plenty of water available
We can give allergen information for every drink, so guests can check before ordering.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
