How the day works
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. December parties in Ightham are dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where guests queue and eat. At midsummer, sunset is about 9:20pm.

Ightham is about 4 miles east of Sevenoaks, in Kent. Parties in Ightham are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day.

Historic houses near Ightham include Ightham Mote (1.5 miles south) and Old Soar Manor (2.1 miles south-east). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on outside caterers and vehicles, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. Thinking of a party in Ivy Hatch Nature Reserve? A food truck in a public park generally needs permission from the landowner, so check first. Hosting near the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 6 miles of Ightham? Let us know about gates, slopes and soft grass before the day.

Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Your questions about Mexican party catering in Ightham
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Ivy Hatch Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Peter: 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.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
What happens if it rains?
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.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do we need to provide plates?
Tell us what you need, and we’ll set out what we can do in the quote.
Can you cater for special diets?
Vegetarian and vegan fillings are cooked and served separately. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the party.
