Organising for someone else?
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
Walmer: parking, access and venues
Walmer is about 6 miles north-east of Dover, in Kent. Anywhere in CT14, we’ll come to your venue or site, as long as there is access. Walmer is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we can bring food truck hire. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 15 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Walmer Castle (under half a mile south-east). Listed venues often control where vehicles go, so raise food truck hire at your first visit. If guests are travelling by rail, Walmer station is about 0.7 miles away. With the coast within about 2 miles of Walmer, wind is worth planning for. A sheltered, firm spot for the truck or trailer and the queue works best.
This part of Kent takes in CT14, so your event can be anywhere in it. Your event could be at a home on Lawn Road, York Road and Grams Road.

Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Collect diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Check gate widths and any height limits
The hatch opens at the time you choose.
Add a build-your-own taco bar beside the truck.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. At midsummer, it stays light in Walmer until about 9:15pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:00pm. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- 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.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Ask the venue about power and water

Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, parking and access
- The number of people
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Timings and hours
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Roughly how many adults and children
- What power and water the site has
- Your date and when you want service to start
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
