FAQs for Chatham Waterfront
Which station should guests use for Chatham Waterfront?
Chatham Waterfront has its own station: Chatham station.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St John the Divine?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Can we add drinks?
We bring bar staff with the drinks bar and alcohol-free choices. We will talk through licensing first.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
What space does the truck need?
A firm, level spot, a way in that fits the vehicle, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.

Yes, we do. Chatham Waterfront is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
