Questions from Potter's Forstal
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.

We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.

A serving table is laid with warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests build their own tacos. Our staff keep it hot and topped up.

It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
When should we book?

Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.

Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will include them in the plan.
