The process
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. By late September, sunset in Derringstone comes at roughly 7:00pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:45pm.

FAQs for Derringstone
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues 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 our guests after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
What does Mexican bar hire cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
How much is the bar?
We quote for each event, depending on guests, drinks and timings. For a price, fill in our quote form.
Can children have drinks from the bar?
Every bar has alcohol-free choices, from aguas frescas to soft drinks.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Mexican bar hire or something else?
Leaving guests to bring their own is easy but unpredictable. A staffed bar means everyone is served. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
