A country party near Alkham is a good fit for street food: served fresh from the hatch in a garden or field. Plan a gazebo for guests in case of rain. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Alkham? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Guest numbers
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Parking and the route in
- Timings and hours
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The date and time of the event
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The address or venue name
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you’ll get menu ideas and a price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- Some distance from houses and neighbours

FAQs for Alkham
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues 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.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Anthony the Martyr: 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 provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will check the licensing with you.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Usually, if there is outdoor space to park and the venue’s permission. Check the venue allows a catering vehicle.
Do you cover Alkham?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Alkham and the rest of Kent. For a quote, send a quick message through our quote form.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
How early should we book?
Early, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
What access 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 photo of the space and the way in.

The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Alkham, so a garden party here may come with a lovely view. Country lanes can be narrow, so tell us about the route in. The coast is within about 5 miles, but seafront spots need permission and firm ground for the truck or trailer.
