Hales Place: your questions answered
Can you serve near the sea around Hales Place?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots normally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Stephen?
Yes. The church itself is not 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.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you provide bar staff?
We bring bar staff.
How much does the drinks bar cost?
We quote for each event, based on numbers, drinks and hours. Contact us for a quote.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
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.

Step by step
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. A summer drinks reception in Hales Place has daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, ideal for drinks outdoors. By late September, sunset is about 7:00pm, and in December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting around the bar.

- Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
- We put together a drinks menu, with alcohol-free choices, and quote for it.

Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
