Bailey's Hard: your questions answered
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of the Blessed Virgin and Child?
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. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you cater in villages like Bailey's Hard?
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 set up where a truck cannot get in?
It can go beside the truck or trailer, or somewhere a vehicle cannot reach. Either way, we need to unload nearby and have the venue’s permission.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
It depends on the event and the timings. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.

Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
How does a taco bar work?
Guests take a plate and fill their tortillas from the dishes on the bar. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
