- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Old Hawkinge questions
What’s the nearest station to Old Hawkinge for guests?
The closest is Folkestone Central station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Michael?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Often, yes. We need firm, level ground outside, access and the venue’s agreement.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Can you supply plates?
Tell us what you need, and we will set out what we can do in the quote.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
How spicy is the food?
That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Check your date with us.
Should I do it myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Comparing your options
A takeaway order is easy but forgettable. A food truck at your party is something guests remember. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
