Common questions in Ellingham
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Mary and All Saints?
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 will check the access.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you cover Ellingham?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Ellingham is within our area. To check your date, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
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 plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Drinks planning tips
A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:
- Share bar opening times
- Tell us how many guests are under 18
- Share taxi numbers with guests
- Check allergies with guests, including for drinks
We arrive in good time to set up the bar, so drinks are ready when you are.
Aguas frescas for children and non-drinkers.
