Dover: your questions answered
Is Dover close to London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Parish Church of St Andrew Buckland?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
How does private food truck hire work?
We bring our food truck or trailer to your venue, park in the agreed spot and serve your guests from the hatch. It’s a private booking for your guests only.
Do you do food truck hire for weddings?
The truck or trailer can serve the wedding breakfast, evening food or both. We fit service around your running order. See our food truck wedding guide.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
How much is food truck hire?
Each hire is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, location and timings. Contact us for a quote.
Food truck hire in Dover, served fresh
The hatch menu is agreed with you: tacos and burritos, with bowls, nachos or quesadillas if you like, finished with salsas and guacamole. At garden parties and launch events, we can serve vegan tacos, quesadillas and loaded nachos for your guests.
With our food truck or trailer hired for your event in Dover, nobody is stuck in the kitchen. Guests order at the hatch, so leave room for a queue near the serving side. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

Is food truck hire right for your event?
Hog roasts are popular with meat eaters, but a Mexican menu covers vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests more easily. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.

Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Email us any allergies
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Share your running order
- Collect diets and allergies with your RSVPs
Guests come to the hatch, order and wait a short moment for hot food.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added to the booking.
Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
Planning food truck hire around Dover
Dover is in Kent. We serve at events in gardens, halls and venues around Dover and the surrounding area. We cover 922 places in Kent, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 14 miles away.
Guests leaving a church like Parish Church of St Andrew Buckland could walk or drive to a nearby garden or hall where the truck is ready. Dover is about 65 miles from central London. A private event by the sea is within reach, as Dover is within about 2 miles of the coast. Promenades and beaches generally need the council’s agreement for a catering vehicle.
We cover events in every part of CT17, CT16, CT15 and CT14. Local streets include London Road, High Street and Church Road; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. Dover is on the A2 and A20, which makes it straightforward to bring the truck or trailer. Neighbouring places where we cater events include River (1 mile north-west), Maxton (1 mile south), Kearsney (1 mile north-west), Whitfield (1 mile north) and Temple Ewell (2 miles north-west). We also cater in nearby towns such as Canterbury (14 miles north-west), Folkestone (7 miles south-west), Ramsgate (15 miles north), Deal (7 miles north-east), Hythe (11 miles south-west) and Walmer (6 miles north-east). Being one of Kent’s larger places, Dover has lots of places to hold an event, though town-centre access for a truck or trailer needs planning.
Well-known places in the area include Dover Castle (1.3 miles south-east) and Crabble Corn Mill (0.7 miles west). The countryside around Dover includes Dover Western Heights.
- Nearby schools include St Edmund's Catholic School (less than half a mile south-east) and St Edmund's Catholic School (within half a mile south-east)
- Local pubs include The Bull pub (less than half a mile south-west)
What’s on the menu
Salsas and guacamole
Guests can add salsa and guacamole to taste.
Burritos
Burritos suit hungry guests and travel well from the hatch.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

Organising for someone else?
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
How the day works
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Evening events in Dover stay light until about 9:15pm at midsummer. Once it is dark, some lighting near the hatch makes ordering easier.

- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
