Drinks receptions around Shepway
Shepway is about 1 mile south-east of Maidstone, in Kent. From the centre of Shepway to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Shepway is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. We cater right across the region, from Shepway to Canterbury (23 miles away).
A gathering in Mote Park? Check the park’s rules first, as alcohol and vehicles normally need permission. For a drinks-led event, rail details help, and Maidstone West station is about 1.7 miles away. An outdoor bar near the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 5 miles of Shepway, needs firm ground and a way in, plus the right licensing, which we’ll check with you.

Common questions in Shepway
How far is Shepway from London?
It is about 32 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Martin's Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you cover Shepway?
We do. We serve at events in Shepway and across Kent. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
Can children have drinks from the bar?
Yes. Aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata are alcohol-free, along with soft drinks.
What can we have at the bar?
Margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We plan the list with you.
How much space do you need?
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.
What does a Mexican bar cost?
We quote for each event, depending on guests, drinks and timings. For a price, tell us about it on our contact page.
How the day works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A picture of the space helps. In December, the light goes in Shepway at about 3:50pm, so plan where guests will gather, and how it will be lit. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:15pm.
- First, we check your date.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- We tidy up at the end.
