Perfect for your wedding in Darenth
It suits outdoor and rustic venues, where a formal sit-down meal is harder to manage.
In Darenth and nearby, we can cater all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:
- Parties after a register office wedding
- Farm and barn venues
- Weddings with lots of dietary needs
- Informal wedding breakfasts
With a ceremony at a church such as Church of St Margaret of Antioch, the simplest plan is a reception close by, so guests aren’t travelling far before they eat. We can set up while the photos are taken.

We serve in all 922 towns and villages in Kent, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is London, about 16 miles away.
Looking for a natural setting for portraits? Sawyers Lake is within easy reach of Darenth. Planning photos in Darenth Country Park? It is worth checking the park’s rules first. A rural reception could be within reach, as the Kent Downs National Landscape is no more than about 7 miles from Darenth. Firm ground and a clear way in matter more than the view for a food truck.
Here we cover the DA2 postcode area. Streets in the area include Hill Rise, Hillside and Moss Way, and a wedding on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby.

How the day works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. For a summer wedding in Darenth, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening food is normally served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting around the truck or trailer.
- Tell us the date, the venue, day and evening numbers and your plans.
- Together we choose a taco bar, evening food or both, and we send a quote.
- We confirm access, the serving spot and the running order with the venue.
- We arrive, set up and serve the food at the agreed times.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
How to prepare
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
How to get a price
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

Darenth questions
Could you serve in Darenth Country Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Do you come to events 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.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you do the wedding breakfast and evening food?
We can. A taco bar works well as a wedding breakfast, and tacos or nachos make good evening food.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: 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.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Darenth.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Send us a picture of the access and the space.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Send us the running order and speech times
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Flag any coeliac guests or serious allergies
- Include suppliers who need feeding
We serve evening food when the running order says, often after the first dance.
Include your suppliers in the numbers if you add them to the final count.
