Food truck hire in Church Hougham, served fresh
Everyone orders at the hatch and gets food cooked to order. It is simple, quick and sociable. At launch events and staff summer parties, we’ll put together a menu of burrito bowls, vegan tacos and tacos from the hatch and more.
For a rural spot like Church Hougham, food truck hire needs a little planning: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
Working with your venue
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
How we price food truck hire
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- How many guests we’re serving
- The length of service
- Serving staff
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- The venue or postcode
- What you’d like on the menu
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The date and time of the event
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, fill in our quote form.

Church Hougham questions
Do you cater in villages like Church Hougham?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you cater at coastal events near Church Hougham?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
At a private hire, we serve your guests and nobody else, with a menu and timings you agree with us. Festival and market trading is open to the public; see our street food catering page.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.

Our food truck or trailer comes to your venue and serves your guests from the hatch. It’s a private booking for your guests only.

Food truck hire in Church Hougham: local tips
Church Hougham is about 3 miles south-west of Dover, in Kent. We bring food truck hire to gardens, halls and venues around Church Hougham and the surrounding area. Church Hougham is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we can bring food truck hire. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Church Hougham to Canterbury (14 miles away).
When the service is at a church such as Church of St Lawrence, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church. A food truck in Samphire Hoe Country Park would need the park owner’s agreement, so check that first. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Church Hougham, with country venues and gardens where a hired food truck could serve. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules on vehicles, so check with yours. The coast is within about 3 miles of Church Hougham, so a hired food truck at a seaside venue is an option. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots usually need permission.
Wherever your event is in CT15, we can bring food truck hire to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Close by, we cover events in West Hougham (1 mile west), Farthingloe (1 mile east), Satmar (1 mile west), Maxton (2 miles east) and Aycliffe (2 miles east). We also cater in nearby towns such as Canterbury (14 miles north-west), Dover (3 miles north-east), Folkestone (4 miles south-west), Deal (9 miles north-east), Hythe (8 miles west) and Walmer (9 miles north-east).
Nearby you will also find Dover Castle (3.1 miles east) and Buckland Hospital (2.1 miles north-east). Not far away are Dover Western Heights and Sugar Loaf Hill.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Step by step
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not generally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Late-September events in Church Hougham see sunset at about 7:00pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:45pm.
- Check our availability for your date.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
