East Lockinge questions
Is East Lockinge close to London?
It is about 56 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
We are having a ceremony at Church of All Saints: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you bring staff to serve the drinks?
Yes, our bar staff serve your guests. Responsible serving comes first.
What’s on the drinks menu?
Margaritas and Mexican beer, with aguas frescas like horchata and agua de jamaica, plus alcohol-free choices.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Who handles the licensing?
Alcohol at an event needs the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We’ll talk licensing through with you. GOV.UK explains Temporary Event Notices.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
What Mexican bar hire costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Travel, parking and access
- Staff for serving and the bar
- What the venue already provides
- How long we are needed on site
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- What power and water the site has
- The date and rough timings
- Expected numbers
- The venue or postcode
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
What happens on the day
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. By late September, sunset in East Lockinge comes at roughly 7:10pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 9:00pm.
- First, we check your date.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
How to prepare
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
