Around Shelvin, historic houses include Acrise Place (4 miles south-west) and Goodnestone Park (4.5 miles north-east).

For a party in the countryside, the Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 4 miles. Rural gardens and fields work well for a truck, given firm ground and a way in.

What happens on the day
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t typically stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. In Shelvin, it is light until about 9:15pm in June but dark by about 3:50pm in December, so autumn and winter parties need more thought about lighting.
- It starts with your date, the address, numbers and diets.

- Before the day, we check the space, the way in, power and water.
- On the day we set up and serve hot food at the time you choose.
