Common questions in Old Hawkinge
Do you cater 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.
Could you serve in East Cliff and Warren Country Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
At a private hire, we serve your guests and nobody else, on a menu and timings agreed with you. Festival and market trading is open to the public.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll suggest mild options.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
How spicy is the food?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will recommend how to serve.

For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
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.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Whether you need disposables
- Travel, parking and access
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Timings and hours
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- The date and rough timings
- What power and water the site has
- Diets and allergies you know about
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll send you a clear quote.
Comparing your options
Most guests have seen a burger van. A Mexican food truck offers something less expected while staying easy to eat. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Why us?
- A menu built around your guests
- We cover Old Hawkinge and the whole of Kent
- A quote that sets out what’s included
- Allergen-aware menus

- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
