FAQs for Darland
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Kent Downs 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.
Do you cater in villages like Darland?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can you bring margaritas?
Our drinks bar can be added where the event’s licensing allows. Licensing is checked with you first.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Flat, firm ground
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Working with your venue
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we have agreed, planned around your event. A December market in Darland loses the light at about 3:50pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:20pm.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We’re ready to serve as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Preparing for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
