St Mary in the Marsh questions
Could we book your food truck for a private event in St Mary in the Marsh?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Is it possible to have you in Romney Warren Country Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including St Mary in the Marsh.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give 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.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
What does hiring your food truck involve?
You book the truck or trailer for set hours at your event. We cook to order, serve from the hatch and pack down afterwards.
Do you cook on site?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll suggest mild options.
Can I do a taco night myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Count children separately
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
We can serve through rain, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Ask about a second service later in the evening.
