Planners, venues and businesses
Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
How the day works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. A late-September party in Gill's Green loses the light at about 7:00pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. In late May, it stays light until about 8:50pm.
- 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.
- We tidy up at the end.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Comparing your options
A self-service drinks table is simple but can run dry or go warm. A staffed bar keeps everything under control. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.

Gill's Green: your questions answered
Is Gill's Green close to London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Will someone run the bar?
Bar staff are part of the service, and serve throughout the agreed hours.
Is there something for non-drinkers?
There are always alcohol-free options, including aguas frescas and soft drinks.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
That is confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
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 do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.

Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
