Street food for events around West Hougham
West Hougham is about 3 miles south-west of Dover, in Kent. Whether your event is in the middle of West Hougham or on the outskirts, Mexican street food works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We serve in all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater right across the region, from West Hougham to Canterbury (about 13 miles away).
Organisers looking at East Cliff and Warren Country Park as a site should start with the landowner, who sets the rules for traders and vehicles. PTA volunteers planning an event for a school like Capel-le-Ferne Primary School might like a trader who brings everything and serves quickly. Organisers near the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 7 miles of West Hougham, may face extra conditions on traffic, ground protection and waste. We work to whatever the site sets. The coast is within about 4 miles of West Hougham, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch, on firm ground rather than sand.
For Mexican street food in CT15, we plan around your venue and the route in and your guests. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on The Street, Lady Garne Road and Mill Lane. For events just outside West Hougham, we cover Satmar (1 mile south-west), Church Hougham (1 mile east), South Alkham (1 mile north-west), Capel-le-Ferne (1 mile south-west) and Alkham (1 mile north-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Canterbury (13 miles north-west), Dover (3 miles north-east), Folkestone (4 miles south-west), Deal (10 miles north-east), Hythe (7 miles south-west) and Tower Hamlets (3 miles east).
Other landmarks nearby include Crabble Corn Mill (2.7 miles north-east) and Buckland Hospital (2.7 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Dover Western Heights and Sugar Loaf Hill.

FAQs for West Hougham
Is it possible to have you in East Cliff and Warren Country Park?
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.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Tell us about your event, and we’ll confirm availability and requirements.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll go through the licensing with you and your venue.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Before you choose a spot
If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
The process
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. Summer events in West Hougham have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
Getting a price
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will send you a clear quote.
