Couples leaving a church such as Church of St Mark could be greeted with margaritas and aguas frescas at the reception. Close to West Reading are historic houses such as Mapledurham House (2.8 miles north-west). Grand houses and estates tend to have firm rules on alcohol and outside bars, so raise the drinks bar with them early.

FAQs for West Reading
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mark?
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.
What’s the nearest station to West Reading for guests?
Reading West station, in West Reading itself.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Can you come to a private house?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain does not generally stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Is the food very hot?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
The process
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. In December, the light goes in West Reading at about 3:55pm, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. Midsummer is the opposite, with daylight until about 9:25pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
- Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
- We suggest a drinks list and send a quote.
- On the day we set up the bar and our bar staff serve your guests.
- When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
Getting a price
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we’ll suggest a menu. When you are ready, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
