Hensting questions
How far is Hensting from London?
It’s about 62 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of the Holy Trinity: can you cater afterwards?
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’ll check the access.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
How our Mexican bar hire works in Hensting
Add our food for tacos, burritos and nachos with the drinks, so you deal with one team. It works well for big birthday celebrations and end-of-year parties, with Mexican beer, alcohol-free drinks and soft drinks.
Near Hensting, a drinks bar suits gardens, barns and marquees, given access. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run behind, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. A summer drinks reception in Hensting has daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer, ideal for drinks outdoors. In late September it’s dark around 7:10pm, and in December by about 4:00pm, so evening bars need lighting.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We go through the licensing with you.
- We agree a drinks menu.
- Our bar staff serve your guests at the agreed times.
- We clear the bar at the end.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Tell us when you want service to start

DIY taco night or a caterer?
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.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
For event organisers in Hensting
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will let you know if it is a good fit.
