FAQs for Owslebury Bottom
Do you come out to small places like Owslebury Bottom?
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 Church of St Andrew?
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.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Who handles the licensing?
Alcohol at an event needs the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We talk licensing through with you before the day. GOV.UK explains Temporary Event Notices.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options.
How spicy is the food?
That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Mexican bar hire or something else?
Bring-your-own is simple but uneven. A staffed bar means everyone is served. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
