FAQs for Shipton-under-Wychwood
Will you travel to a small place like Shipton-under-Wychwood?
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 the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
Yes, with the venue’s permission. We need a short route from where we park to the room, and space for the station and a queue.
Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
It can serve the wedding meal, the evening or both. We agree the timings with your venue.
How much is a taco bar?
There is no price list, because no two events are the same. Share your plans and you’ll get a quote. See what Mexican catering costs for background.
