Lower Halstow questions
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Which station should guests use for Lower Halstow?
Guests can use Newington station, about 1.3 miles south of Lower Halstow.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Tell us about the event, dates and pitch, and we’ll let you know if we’re available.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you need water?
Send pitch details and we will confirm.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
