Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- What the venue already provides
- The number of people
- Parking and the route in
- Serving staff
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Expected numbers
- The date and rough timings
- Your menu ideas
- The venue or postcode
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
Drinks planning tips
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Ask your venue about its licence early
- Give us numbers for children
- Tell us when the bar should open and close
- Give the council notice in good time for a Temporary Event Notice
We adapt if the timings shift.
Pair the bar with tacos, burritos and nachos.

FAQs for Minsted
Do you cater in villages like Minsted?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you cater a reception after a service at The Parish Church of St James?
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 do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we will talk it through.
How much does the drinks bar cost?
There is no fixed price list, as each event is different. Send your details for a quote.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What we need at the venue

- Agreement from the venue for our bar
- Level, firm ground for the bar set-up
- A clear area in front of the bar

How it compares
A self-service drinks table is simple but can run dry or go warm. Bar staff keep drinks flowing and cold. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.

Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
What happens on the day
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. A late-September party in Minsted loses the light at about 7:05pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:55pm.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We talk through licensing with you.
- We agree a drinks menu.
- Our bar staff serve your guests at the agreed times.
- We clear the bar at the end.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
