Questions from Benenden
Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Is Benenden close to London?
It is about 42 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
Do you do a taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
What will our party cost?
We do not publish set prices, because every party is different. Tell us your numbers and plans for a quote.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Mexican party catering in Benenden, served fresh
Taco bars are made for parties: guests fill their own tortillas from fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings, so everybody gets what they like. On the menu are a build-your-own taco bar, quesadillas and guacamole and salsas, which works well for anniversary celebrations and leaving dos and retirements.
Country parties near Benenden suit a food truck or trailer: served fresh from the hatch in a garden or field. Have a covered area ready in case of rain. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Comparing your options
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Tacos cover everyone with separate fillings. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.

Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How many guests we’re serving
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- The length of service
- Food, drinks or both
Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The address or venue name
- Diets and allergies you know about
- What you’d like on the menu
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Benenden parties: what to know
Benenden is about 13 miles west of Ashford, in Kent. Parties in Benenden are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. We cater in 922 places in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 26 miles away.
Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Church of St George, with a party at home or in a hall afterwards. For a party in the countryside, the High Weald National Landscape is within about 3 miles. Rural gardens and fields work well for a truck, given firm ground and a way in.
We cater parties across the TN17 postcode area and the streets around it. Local streets include The Street, Hortons Close and Iden Green Road; for a party at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. Benenden is on the B2086, so it is easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer. Neighbouring places where we cater parties include Iden Green (1 mile south), Coursehorn (2 miles north-west), Baker's Cross (2 miles north-west), Swattenden (2 miles north-west) and Cranbrook (3 miles north-west). Further out, we also cater in Maidstone (14 miles north), Ashford (13 miles east), Royal Tunbridge Wells (14 miles west), Foley Park (15 miles north), Paddock Wood (11 miles north-west) and Tenterden (5 miles east).
A little further out are Mervyn Quinlan Museum (2 miles north-east) and Sissinghurst Castle (3.2 miles north).
- Nearby, you will find King William IV Public House (within half a mile south)
Working with your venue
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Benenden? 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.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Let the neighbours know
- Have bins ready
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
We have allergen details for every dish.
Nachos for sharing while the party gets going.
Planning the serving area
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A photo of the drive or garden helps us check the space
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

The process
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t usually stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. In Benenden, it’s light until about 9:15pm in June but dark by about 3:55pm in December, so autumn and winter parties need more thought about lighting.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick the fillings and extras.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- We serve hot food at the time you choose.
- We tidy up and leave you to enjoy the party.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
