Questions from Greatness
Which station should guests use for Greatness?
Guests can use Bat & Ball station, which is right in Greatness.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t usually stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
That depends on your timings and the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests.
Are plates and napkins included?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.

A food truck suits a relaxed wedding well, especially in the evening. We agree access and timings with the venue.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Send allergy details in writing
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Count children separately
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
Service starts when your timings say.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can join the truck.
Working with your venue
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
