Oliver's Battery questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at Saint Mark's?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Could you serve in St. Cross Park?
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 cater in Oliver's Battery?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Oliver's Battery is within our area and the rest of Hampshire. For a quote, send a quick message through our quote form.
Who clears up?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will talk it through.

Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
