Turnpike Lane: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St John The Baptist (greek Orthodox)?
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 will check the access.
What about parking in Turnpike Lane?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
What does Mexican bar hire cost?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Do you have a licence to sell alcohol?
That depends on your venue. If the venue has no licence, a Temporary Event Notice may be needed. We’ll check the licensing with you.
Do you do a taco bar?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Send us a photo of the access and the space, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Details of power and water on site
- A premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice in place
- A bar spot away from homes
In Turnpike Lane, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
