Common questions in Swanley Village
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of Saint Paul?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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 will check the access.
What’s the nearest station to Swanley Village for guests?
Swanley station, about 1.5 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Can you cater for all our guests’ diets?
We can. We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Yes, and it saves you passing messages. Introduce us and we will sort the details.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
How it compares
A hog roast is popular at weddings, but harder for vegetarian and vegan guests. Separate fillings and toppings cover every diet. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.
