Questions from Shalmsford Street
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Which station is closest to Shalmsford Street?
Guests can use Chartham station, about 0.5 miles north of Shalmsford Street.
Can you come to a private house?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Do you do a drinks bar?
We can. The drinks bar offers margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free drinks. We will talk licensing through with you.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Can you set up at our venue?
We need level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water when you book.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will suggest mild options.
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. In Shalmsford Street, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat

- Collect dietary needs when guests reply

Once everyone has eaten, we tidy up and pack away.
