What happens on the day
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. A late-September party in Fordcombe loses the light at about 7:05pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:50pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.

Fordcombe: your questions answered
How far is Fordcombe from central London?
It is about 27 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Can we have the bar on its own?
Of course. Ask about adding tacos and burritos.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Do you come to Fordcombe?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Fordcombe is within our area and the rest of Kent. To check your date, send a quick message through our quote form.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Planning the serving area
If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:
- A premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice in place
- Firm, level ground where we can set up
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
