- The number of people

- How many staff you need
- What the venue already provides
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- A picture of where we’d park
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- The date and time of the event
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. A summer drinks reception in Roedean has daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, ideal for drinks outdoors. In late September it is dark around 7:05pm, and in December by about 3:55pm, so evening bars need lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- We go through the licensing with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- We suggest a drinks list and send a quote.
- On the day, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
- After service, we clear the bar away.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
Getting a price
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll send you a clear quote and a suggested menu.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.

Questions from Roedean
We’re having a ceremony at St Mark's Church: 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.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues 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.
Do you check ages at the bar?
Always. No alcohol is served to under-18s, and we may refuse service to anyone who has had too much.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we will talk licensing through with you and your venue.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, including Brighton and Hove. Find your area.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options.
