What we need at the venue
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- The right licence for alcohol: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice
- A spot away from neighbours’ windows if the bar runs late
- Level, firm ground for the bar set-up
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

A choice of soft drinks.
The process
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. Sunset in Sutton is around 9:20pm in June, so a summer drinks bar can run into the evening in daylight. String lights or lanterns near the hatch make a later bar easier to find.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We go through the licensing with you.
- You choose the drinks with us.
- We serve drinks responsibly on the day.
- We clear the bar at the end.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
How to get a price
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, tell us about it on our contact page.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
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.

Questions from Sutton
Can you cater a reception after a service at The Parish Church of the Holy Cross?
Yes. The church itself is not 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 will check the access.
Which station is closest to Sutton?
Guests can use Amberley station, about 3.7 miles south-east of Sutton.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you have alcohol-free drinks?
There are always alcohol-free options, from aguas frescas to soft drinks.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Occasions we cater for in Sutton
A drinks bar with a theme gives guests something to talk about, more than a standard bar.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Festivals and fairs
- Summer garden parties
- Work celebrations
- Weddings, day or evening
If the service is at a church such as The Parish Church of the Holy Cross, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church.
