Smithfield: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Smithfield?
Farringdon station, in Smithfield itself.
Is parking a problem for events in Smithfield?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we’ll talk licensing through with you and your venue.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.
Where do you cater?

Step by step

In December, the light goes in Smithfield at about 3:55pm, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:20pm.

- We talk through licensing with you.
- You choose the drinks with us.
- Our bar staff serve your guests at the agreed times.
- We pack down when the bar closes.

DIY taco night or a caterer?

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Planning the bar
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Agree bar timings in advance
- Have plenty of water available
- Ask your venue about its licence early
- Plan transport home for guests
Responsible serving comes first: no alcohol for under-18s, and we may refuse service to anyone who has had too much.
Ask us about glassware or cups and we will confirm the options with your quote.
