Broadwater Down: your questions answered
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Mark's Church?
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.
How far is Broadwater Down from central London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
How much is food truck hire?
There’s no fixed price list, as every booking is different. Tell us your plans and we will quote for your event. See the Mexican catering cost guide for background.
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Do you cater in Broadwater Down?
We do. We serve at events in Broadwater Down and across Kent. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.

Who books food truck hire in Broadwater Down?
A food truck gives a private event a focal point.
These are some of the occasions we serve:

DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Planning the serving area
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Seating or standing room near the truck
- Power and water, confirmed with each booking
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
