Bean events: pitches and permissions
Bean is about 3 miles west of Northfleet, in Kent. For an event in Bean, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards in and around Bean. Bean is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we can bring Mexican street food. We cater right across the region, from Bean to London (17 miles away).
For a public event, it helps to tell people that the nearest station is Greenhithe for Bluewater station, about 1.7 miles north.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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. Read our guide to taco bars.
Questions from Bean
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Will you travel to a small place like Bean?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Will there be long queues?
We plan stock and service around your expected numbers, so queues keep moving.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Tell us about your event, and we’ll reply with our availability and what we need.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Do you do crew catering?
We can. Crew, volunteer and hospitality catering is available, with or without a public stall.

For planners, venues and organisers
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Bean? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, 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.
The process
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. By late September, it’s dark in Bean at around 7:00pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Tell us how the site will be lit when you send the pitch details.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
How to prepare
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Ask the venue about power and water
