Dunsden Green: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at All Saints Church?
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. Send us the reception address.
Which station is closest to Dunsden Green?
Reading station, about 2.6 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
How spicy is the food?
It’s up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.

Mexican beer
Mexican beers served cold, ideal with tacos.
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run behind, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. By late September, sunset in Dunsden Green comes at roughly 7:05pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:55pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- We tidy up at the end.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

Planning help
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Planning drinks for every guest
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Allow time for a Temporary Event Notice if one is needed
- Let us know how many non-drinkers to expect
- Ask your venue about its licence early
- Share taxi numbers with guests
Bar staff serve for the agreed times.
Pair the bar with tacos, burritos and nachos.
