Common questions in Birling
Do you cater in villages like Birling?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you trade at a school fair in Birling?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so get in touch early.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Can you bring margaritas?
We can add our drinks bar if the event is licensed for it. We’ll go through the licensing with you.
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 check every dish and give allergen information.
