Tickham: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Tickham?
Guests can use Teynham station, about 1.4 miles north of Tickham.
Can you trade at a school fair in Tickham?
Yes, if the school is happy and there is access for the truck or trailer. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Is the food made fresh?
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.
Can you serve alcohol at our event?
That depends on licensing. Let us know how alcohol is licensed at your event, and we will go from there.
Will there be long queues?
With fillings ready to go, service is quick.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Step by step
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our food truck or trailer, and serve without fuss. By late September, it is dark in Tickham at around 7:00pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- We cook to order and serve through the agreed trading hours.
- We pack away and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Let us know the timings for the day
