Questions from Merstham
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Katharine: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Nutfield Marshes?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will check the licensing with you.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That 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 will talk it through.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you have alcohol-free drinks?
Yes. Aguas frescas and soft drinks are alcohol-free.
Do you have options for kids?
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 have dairy-free options?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.

How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you are ready, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. By late September, sunset in Merstham comes at roughly 7:05pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. In late May, it stays light until about 8:50pm.
