For a drinks reception in West Ham, a courtyard, forecourt or venue with vehicle access suits the truck or trailer. Let us know about parking, permits and any parking suspension. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:

- Guest numbers
- Timings and hours
- What’s on the menu
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Working with your venue
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- A bar spot away from homes
- Agreement from the venue for our bar
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
As a London location, West Ham is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.

FAQs for West Ham
What’s the nearest station to West Ham for guests?
West Ham station, about 0.5 miles south-west of the centre.
We are having a ceremony at Church of All Saints: can you cater afterwards?
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.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Is the food very hot?
That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Do you have dairy-free options?
We can. We offer dairy-free options.
Do you serve responsibly?
Responsible serving comes first: alcohol-free drinks for under-18s, with water and alcohol-free choices on hand.
