Headcorn: your questions answered
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Headcorn?
Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
Do you have vegan options?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
How spicy is the food?
That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
