Shiplake Cross questions
Do you come out to small places like Shiplake Cross?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
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 do dairy-free food?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
When should I book?
Early is best, but ask even if it’s soon. We will check availability for you.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Do you have vegan options?
Vegetarian and vegan fillings are cooked and served separately, and every dish is labelled. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the party.
