Catering an event in Temple Ewell
Temple Ewell is about 2 miles north-west of Dover, in Kent. We cater events at gardens, halls and venues around Temple Ewell and the surrounding area. We cater in 922 places in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Temple Ewell to Canterbury (about 12 miles away).
Before you pencil in Old Park Hill, find out who manages it: driving a truck onto parkland and selling food there both need their agreement. When the service is at a church such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, the food typically happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. With the Kent Downs National Landscape about 7 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Temple Ewell. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in. With the sea within about 3 miles, a beach-side event might appeal. Promenades and beaches generally need permission, and the truck or trailer has to park on firm ground, not sand.
Wherever your event is in CT16 and CT17, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. Whether your event is on Park Road, Lower Road and Green Lane or anywhere nearby, we can bring Mexican catering there, given access. If your venue is just outside Temple Ewell, we also cover Kearsney (1 mile south), River (1 mile south-east), Whitfield (1 mile north-east), Lydden (1 mile north-west) and Wolverton (2 miles south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Canterbury (12 miles north-west), Folkestone (6 miles south-west), Ramsgate (14 miles north-east), Deal (7 miles north-east), Hythe (10 miles south-west) and Walmer (7 miles north-east).
Well-known places in the area include Dover Castle (2.9 miles south-east) and Dover Transport Museum (0.9 miles east). Not far away are Dover Western Heights.
- Nearby schools include Dover Christ Church Academy (1.9 miles south-east)
- Local pubs include Royal Oak Cottage The Royal Oak Public House (0.7 miles south-east)
Mexican catering in Temple Ewell, served fresh
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case, so tell us your numbers. It suits markets and community events and charity and school events, serving burritos, quesadillas and tacos.
In a rural place like Temple Ewell, access is the main thing to plan: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. You will know what’s included before you book: menu, timings and any add-ons.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.

Common questions in Temple Ewell
How far is Temple Ewell from London?
It’s about 64 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
What’s the nearest station to Temple Ewell for guests?
Guests can use Kearsney station, which is right in Temple Ewell.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
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. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Mexican catering or something else?
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a larger team. A food truck or trailer is its own kitchen, so we need a suitable spot, access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we’ll set out what’s included.

The menu, item by item

A taco bar is relaxed and sociable, and it makes mixed diets easy.
Working with your venue
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
How it works
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. Planning an evening event in Temple Ewell? Sunset is around 8:45pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. Festoon lights or floodlights help once it gets dark.
