FAQs for Swanbourne
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Swithun: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
How far is Swanbourne from London?
It is about 44 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
How much is the bar?
There is no fixed price list, as each event is different. Tell us your plans for a quote.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
What can we have at the bar?
Our bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata, plus alcohol-free choices.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so get in touch early.
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Vehicle access near the bar
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- Agreement from the venue for our bar
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
