Organising for someone else?

Harpsden Bottom: your questions answered
How far is Harpsden Bottom from central London?
About 35 miles from central London.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Margaret: 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.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll recommend how to serve.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Vegetarian and vegan fillings are cooked and served separately. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the party.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.

What we need at the venue

- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A route in that is wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
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.
Catering for every guest
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Check the width of your gate or drive
- Give separate numbers for children
- Put severe allergies to us in writing
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
We arrive before your guests to set up.
Bowls as an alternative to tacos.
The process
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. For a winter party in Harpsden Bottom, it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, so plan lighting where guests queue and eat. At midsummer, sunset is about 9:25pm.
