Common questions in Skinner's Hill
Can you cater a reception after a service at All Saints' Church?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Do you come out to small places like Skinner's Hill?
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.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we’ll park.
Do you do evening food as well as the main meal?
We can. A taco bar works well as a wedding breakfast, and tacos or nachos make good evening food.
Can you feed our photographer and band?
Yes. Include suppliers in your numbers and we’ll plan for them.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.

For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
How the day works
