Knockholt is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Knockholt to London (16 miles away).
Visitors arriving by train will find that Knockholt station is about 2.7 miles away. Organisers near the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 4 miles of Knockholt, may face extra conditions on traffic, ground protection and waste. We work to whatever the site sets.
We cater events across the TN14 postcode area. Streets in the area include Main Road and Blueberry Lane, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Nearby, we also cater events in Knockholt Pound (1 mile north-east), Halstead (2 miles north-east), Sepham Heath (2 miles north-east), Pratt's Bottom (2 miles north) and Twitton (3 miles east).

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Questions from Knockholt
Will you travel to a small place like Knockholt?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Which station is closest to Knockholt?
Knockholt station, about 2.7 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
What documents can you send?
Send your requirements and we will respond with our documents.
Can you come to a private house?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
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.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not generally stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
How the day works
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. A December market in Knockholt loses the light at about 3:55pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we are ready before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Preparing for the day

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
