Appleshaw questions
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Peter in the Wood: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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 come out to small places like Appleshaw?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Is Mexican food OK for kids?
It is popular with children, particularly quesadillas. Let us know numbers and ages.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Often, yes. We need firm, level ground outside, access and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed when you book.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will check the licensing with you.

The process
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A picture of the space helps. For a winter party in Appleshaw, it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, so think about how guests will see their way to the truck. At midsummer, sunset is about 9:25pm.

Can I do a taco night myself?
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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
