Common questions in Nettlestead
Will you travel to a small place like Nettlestead?
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.
What’s the nearest station to Nettlestead for guests?
Guests can use Wateringbury station, which is right in Nettlestead.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
What drinks do you serve?
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, plus soft drinks. We plan the list with you.
Who handles the licensing?
It depends on the venue. Some venues have a premises licence; others need a Temporary Event Notice. We’ll talk licensing through with you.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Can you keep it mild?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
How the day works
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Winter receptions in Nettlestead are dark by about 3:50pm in December, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
- We go through the licensing with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- You get a suggested drinks menu and a quote.
- We arrive, set up and serve margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
- After service, we clear the bar away.
How to prepare
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Find out what power and water are available
Getting a price
It is easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
