FAQs for Selsted
Is Selsted close to London?
It’s about 60 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you cater at coastal events near Selsted?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots generally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
Can you keep it mild?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.

Yes, we do. Selsted is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.

Can I do a taco night myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
