Common questions in Bearsted
We’re having a ceremony at Holy Cross Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
How far is Bearsted from London?
It’s about 33 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will go through the licensing with you.
What do you need at the venue?
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. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
Private hire means we serve only your guests, on a menu and timings agreed with you. Festival and market trading is open to the public.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Enough width and height on the route in
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
