We serve in all 68 towns and villages across Medway, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater right across the region, from Scarborough to Maidstone (about 6 miles away).
A market or festival in Holborough Marshes would be licensed by whoever manages the park, and we’ll provide our part of the paperwork. For visitors coming by rail, the nearest station is Snodland station, about 1.1 miles south-west.

Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
