- We suggest a drinks list and send a quote.
- On the day we set up the bar and our bar staff serve your guests.

Iffley: your questions answered
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St James: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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’s the nearest station to Iffley for guests?
Guests can use Oxford station, about 2.4 miles north-west of Iffley.
How much does the drinks bar cost?
We quote for each event, based on numbers, drinks and hours. For a price, tell us about it on our contact page.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Can children have drinks from the bar?
Always. Aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata are alcohol-free.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Drinks planning tips
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Allow time for a Temporary Event Notice if one is needed
- Share bar opening times
- Let us know how many non-drinkers to expect
- Think about how guests get home
Responsible serving comes first: under-18s are not served alcohol, and nor is anyone who has had too much.
Ask us about glassware or cups and we’ll confirm the options with your quote.
Comparing your options
DIY drinks tables are easy but need constant topping up. A staffed bar keeps everything under control. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.
