FAQs for Penenden Heath
How far is Penenden Heath from London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to Penenden Heath?
The closest is Maidstone East station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so get in touch early.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we will go through the licensing with you and your venue.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not usually stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
