Other catering in Marchwood
Marchwood: your questions answered
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St John the Apostle?
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.
Which station is closest to Marchwood?
Guests can use Millbrook (Hants) station, about 1.6 miles north-east of Marchwood.
What drinks do you serve?
Our bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata, plus alcohol-free choices.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
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.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you have a licence to sell alcohol?
That depends on your venue. Some venues have a premises licence; others need a Temporary Event Notice. We’ll check the licensing with you.
Is there something for non-drinkers?
Yes. Aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata are alcohol-free.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Drinks planning tips

Step by step
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests. A late-September party in Marchwood loses the light at about 7:10pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. In late May, it stays light until about 8:55pm.
- First, we check your date.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
How to prepare
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Find out what power and water are available
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
