Chartway Street questions
Is Chartway Street close to London?
Roughly 36 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Chartway Street for guests?
Harrietsham station, about 3 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you have a licence to sell alcohol?
You will need either the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We’ll talk licensing through with you. See GOV.UK for Temporary Event Notices.
Do you check ages at the bar?
Yes. Under-18s aren’t served alcohol, and we may refuse service to anyone who has had too much.
What drinks do you serve?
Margaritas and Mexican beer, with aguas frescas like horchata and agua de jamaica.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.

How it works
Your timings come first. If things run behind, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. A summer drinks reception in Chartway Street has daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. In late September it is dark around 7:00pm, and in December by about 3:50pm, so evening bars need lighting.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
- Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
- 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
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
