Rainham questions
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Margaret: can you cater afterwards?
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.
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you cater in Rainham?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Rainham and the rest of Medway. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, including Rainham.

It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. A summer drinks reception in Rainham has daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. By late September, sunset is about 7:00pm, and in December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting around the bar.
- First, we check your date.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
