What else we do in Coates
Diets, allergies and planning
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Share your running order, including speeches
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
- Include suppliers who need feeding
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
On the day, we work with your coordinator or toastmaster, so you can enjoy yourselves.
We can feed your photographer and band too.
Before you choose a spot
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- A place for the truck or trailer near where guests are eating
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

FAQs for Coates
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Agatha?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
What’s the nearest station to Coates for guests?
Guests can use Pulborough station, about 2.7 miles east of Coates.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so get in touch early.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Do you work with our venue?
Yes, it makes life easier. Put us in touch and we’ll agree the details.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
What about supplier meals?
Yes. Add your suppliers to the final numbers.

Step by step
Here’s how the day generally runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. Late-September weddings in Coates see the sun go down at about 7:05pm, which can put the evening food just after dusk. A late-May wedding keeps its light until roughly 8:50pm.
- You send us your wedding date, venue, numbers and how you see the day.
- Together we choose a taco bar, evening food or both, and we send a quote.
- We confirm access, the serving spot and the running order with the venue.
- On the day we set up and serve when your running order says.
- We pack down after service and leave our area tidy.
How to prepare
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
