FAQs for Lyford
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Mary?
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.
Do you come out to small places like Lyford?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Will someone run the bar?
Bar staff are part of the service, and serve throughout the agreed hours.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
Do you do drinks only?
Yes. The bar can be booked on its own, or with our Mexican catering.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
