Smannell: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Christ Church?
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.
How far is Smannell from central London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Can we have the bar on its own?
Of course. Ask about adding tacos and burritos.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a quote.
Is Mexican bar hire right for your event?
