For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Questions from Harbledown
We are having a ceremony at St Michael and All Angels Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Which station should guests use for Harbledown?
The closest is Canterbury West station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you cater in Harbledown?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Harbledown is within our area and the rest of Kent. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will plan the menu around them.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Space, access and the venue
We will be honest if a space will not work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
- Give us separate numbers for children
Guests order at the hatch and we serve them there and then, so it is hot when it reaches them.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter.
Planning a food truck in Harbledown
Harbledown is about 1 mile west of Canterbury, in Kent. Anywhere in CT2, we will come to your venue or site. Harbledown is one of 922 places in Kent we cover.
Guests leaving a church like St Michael and All Angels Church after a christening could walk over to a nearby garden where the tacos are ready. By rail: the nearest station is Canterbury West station, about 0.8 miles east. With the sea within about 6 miles, a beach-side event might appeal. Promenades and beaches usually need permission, and the truck or trailer has to park on firm ground, not sand.
