Common questions in Shellingford
Is Shellingford close to London?
About 63 miles from central London.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Faith?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
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. See GOV.UK for Temporary Event Notices.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
What does Mexican bar hire cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.
Mexican bar hire in Shellingford, served fresh
Soft drinks and alcohol-free choices are always part of the bar, so drivers and non-drinkers aren’t left with tap water. On the menu are agua de jamaica, alcohol-free drinks and aguas frescas, and it is a good fit for wedding receptions and evening parties and garden get-togethers.
Near Shellingford, a drinks bar suits a garden, barn or field party. Tell us about the ground, gates, power and water. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

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.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
