Stonegate: your questions answered
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Peter: 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’ll check the access.
How far is Stonegate from London?
About 38 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
Can you cater for special diets?
We keep vegetarian and vegan fillings separate, and every dish is labelled. Ask anyone with a severe allergy to speak to us first.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
