Questions from Sharnal Street
Which station should guests use for Sharnal Street?
The closest is Gillingham (Kent) station, roughly 3.9 miles away.
How far is Sharnal Street from London?
It’s about 29 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up 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. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Medway included. See all areas.

Other catering in Sharnal Street
Should I do it myself?
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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.

What happens on the day
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. A December market in Sharnal Street loses the light at about 3:50pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Name one person we can ask on the day
