Food truck hire in Dunkirk: local tips
Dunkirk is about 4 miles south-east of Faversham, in Kent. Tell us where your event in Dunkirk will be, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up before the day. Dunkirk is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring food truck hire.
Hoping to hire a food truck for a gathering in Mount Ephraim Gardens? A catering vehicle in a public park normally needs the landowner’s permission. If guests are travelling by rail, Selling station is about 1.9 miles away. Dunkirk is within about 8 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, 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. With the sea within about 6 miles, 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 normally need permission.
Anywhere in ME13, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include London Road and Courtenay Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Boughton under Blean (1 mile west), Winterbourne (1 mile south-west), Hickmans Green (1 mile west), Oversland (1 mile south-west) and South Street (2 miles south-west).

How our food truck hire works in Dunkirk
Our drinks bar can be hired with the truck for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. A build-your-own taco bar can sit beside the truck too. We serve tacos from the hatch, loaded nachos and burritos, which works well for wedding evening food and family reunions.
In a rural place like Dunkirk, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Common questions in Dunkirk
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Mount Ephraim Gardens?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Is Dunkirk close to London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London.
Can we hire the truck for our wedding?
We can serve from the truck for the wedding meal, the evening or both. We fit service around your running order. Read more in having a food truck at a wedding.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
Do you offer a bar with the truck?
You can add our drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We’ll check the licensing with you.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Collect diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Guests with serious allergies should contact us first
- Send allergy details in writing
Running late? Tell us, and we will work around it.
Simple quesadillas suit younger guests, if you’d like a kids’ choice.
Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
About the menu

Step by step
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a photo of the space if you are unsure.

In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.

Is food truck hire right for your event?
Plated catering needs a kitchen tent, waiting staff and set courses. A food truck arrives as a kitchen and serves from the hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so share your ideas with us. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
