At midsummer, it is light in Westenhanger until about 9:15pm, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. In late September it’s dark around 7:00pm, and in December by about 3:50pm, so evening bars need lighting.

The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Timings and hours
- Travel, parking and access
- How many guests we are serving
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The venue or postcode
- What power and water the site has
- Expected numbers
- The date and time of the event
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. 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.
Perfect for your event in Westenhanger
Our staff run the bar, and you can enjoy the event.
