Dungate: your questions answered
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues 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.
What’s the nearest station to Dungate for guests?
Sittingbourne station, about 2.9 miles north of the centre.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we will suggest the best set-up.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
Private hire means we serve only your guests, on a menu and timings agreed with you. Festival and market trading is open to the public.
How much is food truck hire?
There’s no fixed price list, as every booking is different. Send your details and you’ll get a quote. See the Mexican catering cost guide for background.
Food truck hire in Dungate, served fresh
Food truck hire suits weddings, milestone birthdays and staff events. We serve burritos, vegan tacos and burrito bowls, which works well for summer parties at home and anniversary celebrations.
In a small place like Dungate, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
- Send allergy details in writing
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
At the end of service, we close the hatch and pack down.
Nachos for sharing at the start.
What food truck hire costs
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- The number of people
- Food, drinks or both
- Whether you need disposables
Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and when you want service to start
- What you’d like on the menu
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. When you’re ready, tell us about it on our contact page.
For event organisers in Dungate
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s 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.
Space, access and the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. A hired food truck at a summer event in Dungate can serve in daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:00pm. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
