Watt's Cross: venues, access and licensing
Watt's Cross is about 3 miles north-west of Tonbridge, in Kent. Anywhere in TN11, we can bring the truck or trailer to you. We cater in 922 places in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is London, about 24 miles away.
Close to Watt's Cross are historic houses such as Ightham Mote (3 miles north-east) and Knole House (3.1 miles north). Before booking a historic venue, find out whether it lets an outside bar bring a vehicle on site. If the service is at a church such as Parish Church of St John, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. Watt's Cross is within about 8 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, a lovely setting for drinks outdoors. Ask your venue about vehicle access for the truck or trailer.

Mexican bar hire in Watt's Cross, from our food truck or trailer
Alcohol at an event needs the right licence: a premises licence at the venue, or a Temporary Event Notice. We go through the licensing with you before the day. It works well for summer garden parties and mexican-themed parties, with alcohol-free drinks, Mexican beer and horchata.
In a rural spot like Watt's Cross, drinks can be served from our truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, given access. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Planning the serving area
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Level, firm ground for the bar set-up
- The right licence for alcohol: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice
- 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’ll advise before you book.
