Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not normally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.

Running an event in Newnham
Newnham is about 4 miles south-west of Faversham, in Kent. Tell us where your event in Newnham will be, and we will plan access and set-up before the day. We cater in all 922 towns and villages across Kent. We cater right across the region, from Newnham to Canterbury (about 12 miles away).
For a public event, it helps to tell people that Teynham station is about 3.4 miles away. Organisers of a summer fête for a church such as Church of St Peter and St Paul could add tacos and burritos alongside the bric-a-brac. Shows and fairs in the Kent Downs National Landscape, about 8 miles from Newnham at most, sometimes have rules on where traders can drive. Send us the site plan and we’ll plan around it.
We cater events across the ME9 postcode area and the streets around it. Streets in the area include The Street, Sharsted Hill and Newnham Lane, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. If your venue is just outside Newnham, we also cover Doddington (1 mile west), Wichling (2 miles west), Bluetown (2 miles west), Hollybushes (3 miles west) and Payden Street (3 miles south-west). We also cater in nearby towns such as Maidstone (12 miles west), Ashford (10 miles south), Canterbury (12 miles east), Sittingbourne (5 miles north-west), Whitstable (11 miles north-east) and Faversham (4 miles north-east).

Space, access and the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
