How the day works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. A summer drinks reception in Sandling has daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, ideal for drinks outdoors. In late September it is dark around 7:00pm, and in December by about 3:50pm, so evening bars need lighting.
- We check availability.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer

Sandling: your questions answered
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Tyland Barn?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Which station should guests use for Sandling?
The closest is Maidstone East station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
How is the food prepared?
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.
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Do you bring staff to serve the drinks?
Bar staff are part of the service, and serve throughout the agreed hours.
What drinks do you serve?
Our bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata, plus alcohol-free choices.
Tips for a smooth bar
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Give us numbers for children
- Ask guests about allergies
- Share bar opening times
- Plan transport home for guests
We set up the bar before guests arrive.
Pair the bar with tacos, burritos and nachos.
Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
For event organisers in Sandling
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
