Drinks receptions around Bowmans
Bowmans is about 2 miles west of Dartford, in Kent. Anywhere in DA1, we will come to your venue or site. We serve in 922 places in Kent. Our nearest city page is London, about 13 miles away.
Serving alcohol in Dartford Heath would need the owner’s permission and probably a licence, so a garden or venue is often simpler. Couples leaving a church such as St Barnabas could be greeted with margaritas and aguas frescas at the reception. With the Kent Downs National Landscape within about 8 miles, a countryside drinks reception is an option. Check how the venue handles outside bars and vehicles.
We serve at events all over DA1, DA2 and DA5 and the streets around it. From Swan Lane, Dale Road and Ross Road or a nearby road, we will plan where to park and serve. Main roads around Bowmans include the A2018, so getting the truck or trailer to your event is simple.

How it works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. A late-September party in Bowmans loses the light at about 7:05pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. In late May, it stays light until about 8:50pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
- We talk through licensing with you, whether that’s 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 we set up the bar and our bar staff serve your guests.
- When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.
How to prepare

Common questions in Bowmans
Do you come to events 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 Dartford Heath?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will talk it through.
Do you provide bar staff?
We bring bar staff, and serve throughout the agreed hours.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
What we need at the venue
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- Licensing checked with you before the day
- A bar spot away from homes
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.

What affects the price in Bowmans
These are the factors that matter most:
- The number of people
- Timings and hours
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- How many staff you need
Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Details that help
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- The address or venue name
- What power and water the site has
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
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, with allergen information for every dish.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
