Harpsden: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Harpsden for guests?
Guests can use Henley-On-Thames station, about 0.9 miles north of Harpsden.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Margaret?
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.
Will someone run the bar?
Bar staff are part of the service, and serve throughout the agreed hours.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
Is the food very hot?
That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not normally stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will suggest mild options.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Planning the bar
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Collect allergy details in advance
- Serve food alongside the drinks
- Share taxi numbers with guests
- Include aguas frescas for non-drinkers
We can give allergen information for every drink.
