FAQs for Chilton
Do you cater at coastal events near Chilton?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Could you serve in Sandwich and Pegwell Bay?
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.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information, and we’ll let you know if we are available.
Will there be long queues?
Fillings are cooked ahead and kept hot, so orders are assembled quickly.
Do you need power?
Let us know what the pitch has and we will confirm our needs. We confirm power and water with each booking.
Planning the serving area
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
- Clear information on power, water and waste
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Running an event in Chilton
Chilton is about 1 mile south-west of Ramsgate, in Kent. For an event in Chilton, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards. We cater in 922 places in Kent, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Chilton to Canterbury (14 miles away).

How the day works
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. A December market in Chilton loses the light at about 3:50pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:15pm.

- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- On the day, we are ready before the busiest hours.
