Prices and what affects them
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- The number of people
- Serving staff
- Travel, parking and access
- What’s on the menu
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Details that help
These details help us quote quickly:
- A picture of where we’d park
- The date and rough timings
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will send you a clear quote.
What happens on the day
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Sunset in East Ilsley is around 9:25pm in June, so a summer drinks bar can run into the evening in daylight. For a bar running past dusk, ask the venue about outdoor lighting.
- First, we check your date.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Give us a contact for the day

Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.

Organising for someone else?
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
What’s on the menu
Horchata
A sweet, creamy rice drink with cinnamon, served cold.
Mexican beer
Mexican beer is light and refreshing.

Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
