Old Wives Lees parties: what to know
Old Wives Lees is about 5 miles west of Canterbury, in Kent. Tell us where your party in Old Wives Lees will be, and we will plan the journey and set-up before the day. We cover 922 places in Kent.
Thinking of a party in Broadham Down? A food truck in a public park usually needs permission from the landowner, so check first. Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Church of St Mary, with a party at home or in a hall afterwards. For a party in the countryside, the Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 6 miles. Rural gardens and fields work well for a truck, given firm ground and a way in.
We cater parties across CT4 and the streets around it. Whether your party is on Cherry Orchard, Cobbs Hill and Green Lane or a nearby road, we will plan where to park and serve. If your venue is just outside Old Wives Lees, we also cover Chilham (1 mile south), Mountain Street (1 mile south), Oversland (2 miles north), Neames Forstal (2 miles north-west) and Shottenden (2 miles west). Within a short drive, we also cover Ashford (9 miles south-west), Canterbury (5 miles east), Sittingbourne (12 miles north-west), Folkestone (15 miles south-east), Whitstable (7 miles north) and Faversham (5 miles north-west).
Well-known places in the area include Chilham Castle (0.9 miles south-west) and Eastbridge Hospital of St Thomas the Martyr (5.1 miles east). The countryside around Old Wives Lees includes Blean Woods RSPB Reserve.
- Pubs nearby include The Star Inn (less than half a mile north-west)
Mexican party catering in Old Wives Lees, from our truck or trailer
Mexican street food is made for relaxed parties: easy to eat with one hand, so guests can keep chatting and there is no need for a seating plan. At housewarming parties and summer garden parties, we can serve a build-your-own taco bar, loaded nachos and tacos for your guests.
A country party near Old Wives Lees is a good fit for street food: parked up on firm ground and serving from the hatch. Have a covered area ready in case of rain. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Planning the serving area
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Old Wives Lees? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if it’s a good fit.
Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

What’s the nearest station to Old Wives Lees for guests?
Guests can use Chilham station, about 0.8 miles south-east of Old Wives Lees.

What will our party cost?
We do not publish set prices, as each party is different. Tell us your numbers and plans for a quote.
Can you park at my house?
Often, yes, if there’s level, firm ground and access wide and high enough for the truck or trailer. Send us a photo of the space.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can you supply plates?
Ask us when you enquire, and we will confirm what’s possible with your quote.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll plan the menu around them.

If you want special but not formal, tacos and a taco bar fit perfectly. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
