In a rural spot like Kilndown, drinks can be served from our food truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, as long as we can get in. We will go through the licensing with you. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.

Step by step
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our food truck or trailer, and serve without fuss. A late-September party in Kilndown loses the light at about 7:00pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:50pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
- 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.
- On the day, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
- After service, we clear the bar away.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
