Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The menu you choose
- How many staff you need
- The length of service
- Distance and access to the venue
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many adults and children
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- A flat, firm spot for the bar
- Room for a queue
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we will let you know if it is a good fit.
The process
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event. At midsummer, it is light in Old Town until about 9:15pm, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. By late September, sunset is about 7:00pm, and in December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting around the bar.
- First, we check your date.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Other catering in Old Town
Old Town: your questions answered
Do you come to events in the South Downs National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you follow the rules on serving alcohol?
Always. Under-18s aren’t served alcohol, and anyone who has had too much won’t be served more.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not typically stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
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?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
Can we book the bar without food?
Yes. Book the bar on its own, or with our Mexican catering.
