- Whether you need disposables
- How many guests we’re serving
- Distance and access to the venue

Upper Wellingham questions
Is Upper Wellingham close to London?
It’s about 41 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Could you serve our guests after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary?
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.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Who handles the licensing?
Alcohol at an event needs the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We go through the licensing with you before the day. See GOV.UK for Temporary Event Notices.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
