Plumpton: your questions answered
How far is Plumpton from central London?
About 41 miles from central London.
We are having a ceremony at The Parish Church of St Michael and All Angels: can you cater afterwards?
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. Tell us where the reception will be.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, including East Sussex. See all areas.
What’s on the drinks menu?
Margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. The drinks list is agreed with you.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
