FAQs for Upperton
Is Upperton close to London?
About 42 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Could you serve our guests after a service at The Parish Church of All Hallows?
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.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Do you check ages at the bar?
Our bar staff serve responsibly: under-18s get alcohol-free drinks only, and we offer water and alcohol-free choices throughout.
Do you cater in Upperton?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Upperton. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
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 talk it through with you.
Do you bring staff to serve the drinks?
Yes, our bar staff serve your guests. Responsible serving comes first.
Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
What we need at the venue
We will be honest if a space won’t work. The main points are:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

We cover all 371 towns and villages across West Sussex, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Upperton to Chichester (12 miles away).
