We plan each menu with the client, so fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, alongside vegan choices such as black beans or spiced mushrooms. On the menu are loaded nachos, fresh salsas and guacamole and burritos, which works well for family celebrations and wedding breakfasts and evening food.

Catering an event in Hales Place
Hales Place is about 1 mile north of Canterbury, in Kent. Give us the address of your event in Hales Place, and we will plan the journey and set-up before the day. We cover 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages.
Parks such as Bus Company Island typically need the owner’s permission for vehicles and catering, so ask before you plan an event there. Guests leaving a church like Church of St Stephen after a christening could walk over to a nearby garden where the tacos are ready. With the sea within about 6 miles, a beach-side event might appeal. Promenades and beaches generally need permission, and the truck or trailer has to park on firm ground, not sand.
