Charlton-in-Dover: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Charlton-in-Dover for guests?
The closest is Dover Priory station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Could you come to a seaside event near Charlton-in-Dover?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you cater in Charlton-in-Dover?
Yes, we do. Charlton-in-Dover is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Count children separately
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
If the schedule slips, tell us and we will hold everything hot until you are ready.
Burrito bowls sit well on the bar for anyone avoiding tortillas.
How it compares
A standard buffet often sits out cold. We keep the fillings hot and refill the dishes through service. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.
