Gallowstree Common: your questions answered
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
How far is Gallowstree Common from central London?
About 39 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will include them in the plan.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll suggest mild options.
What’s on the menu?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Is there something for non-drinkers?
Yes. Aguas frescas and soft drinks are alcohol-free, along with soft drinks.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using 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.

Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
