Should I do it myself?

FAQs for Upminster
Where would you park in Upminster?
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 cater a reception after a service at Church of St Laurence?
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.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will include them in the plan.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Can you keep it mild?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Can children have drinks from the bar?
Always. Aguas frescas and soft drinks are alcohol-free.
Do you have a licence to sell alcohol?
It depends on the venue. If the venue has no licence, a Temporary Event Notice may be needed. We talk it through with you.
Do you follow the rules on serving alcohol?
Always. No alcohol is served to under-18s, and we may refuse service to anyone who has had too much.
