Common questions in Shirkoak
We are having a ceremony at Parish Church of All Saints: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Which station is closest to Shirkoak?
Guests can use Ham Street station, about 4 miles south-east of Shirkoak.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
What about power on site?
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.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
How our wedding Mexican catering works in Shirkoak
A food truck or trailer suits barns, marquees, gardens and venues with hardstanding, provided there is safe access and level, firm ground. It works well for weddings in a marquee or garden and weddings with mixed diets, serving fresh guacamole and salsas, tacos and evening tacos.
A wedding in a small place like Shirkoak often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A truck or trailer works well there: no kitchen, just firm ground and access. Let us know about access, ground, power and water. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
