Common questions in Great Chart
Do you come to school fairs around Great Chart?
Yes, if the school is happy and there’s access for the truck or trailer. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you come to events 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.
Is there a vegan option at your stall?
Yes, always. Vegan fillings such as spiced mushrooms or black beans are on the menu.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
