St John Street area: Historic houses near St John Street area include Holywell Manor, Oxford (0.6 miles east). Estates and historic houses tend to set their own rules for caterers, so find out what yours allows first. For a christening or wedding at a church such as Pusey House Chapel, a food truck at a garden or venue nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. Winter evenings in St John Street area close in by about 3:55pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:25pm.

Common questions in OX1
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we’ll check the licensing with you and your venue.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will plan the menu around them.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
