Rookley Green questions

Will you travel to a small place like Rookley Green?

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 serve near the sea around Rookley Green?

Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.

What food and drinks do you offer?

Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.

Do you provide drinks?

Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.

Do you provide bar staff?

We bring bar staff.

Do you cater for coeliacs?

Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?

Who clears up?

We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.

Do you cater in Rookley Green?

Yes, we do. Rookley Green is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.

Tips for a smooth bar

To get the most from the bar, it helps to:

  • Let us know how many non-drinkers to expect
  • Plan alcohol-free drinks for drivers
  • Tell us when the bar should open and close
  • Serve food alongside the drinks

We set up the bar before guests arrive.

Aguas frescas for children and non-drinkers.

Prices and what affects them

We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:

  • How many guests we are serving
  • Timings and hours
  • How many staff you need
  • Food, drinks or both

Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.

What we need to know

These details help us quote quickly:

  • Where the event is
  • A picture of where we’d park
  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • What you’d like on the menu

Not sure what you need yet? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we’ll make suggestions. When you’re ready, tell us about it on our contact page.

Space, access and the venue

Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:

  • A premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice in place
  • Room for a queue
  • Some distance from houses and neighbours

Rookley Green is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey and access for the truck or trailer.

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How it works

We work to your timings. If things run behind, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. A summer drinks reception in Rookley Green has daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, ideal for drinks outdoors. By late September, sunset is about 7:10pm, and in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting around the bar.

  1. Send us your date, venue, numbers and drinks ideas.
  2. We talk licensing through with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
  3. We put together a drinks menu, with alcohol-free choices, and quote for it.
  4. On the day, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
  5. When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know the timings for the day
  • Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
  • Confirm numbers and diets before the day

DIY taco night versus a caterer

Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
