Shirrell Heath questions
Do you cater in villages like Shirrell Heath?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Shirrell Heath?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll check the licensing with you.

We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
