Questions from Lynsore Bottom
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Jumping Downs?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, for example a supply from the venue, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will talk it through.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you cook on site?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Step by step
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. At midsummer, events in Lynsore Bottom stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
