What happens on the day
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our food truck or trailer, and get on with serving. A summer drinks reception in Aldington has daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. In late September it’s dark around 7:00pm, and in December by about 3:50pm, so evening bars need lighting.
- Send us your date, venue, numbers and drinks ideas.
- We talk through licensing with you, whether that is the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- We put together a drinks menu, with alcohol-free choices, and quote for it.
- On the day, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
- When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches

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.

Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
