It means: Come and eat.

It's not an easy straight-forward answer because the phrase may be wrong.
"dose" is not 12; "doce" is twelve. If it is a typo, then it is STILL wrong because 12 is plural and so the correct phrase would be "doce vienen a comer." THAT means "twelve come to eat" or "twelve will come to eat." The alternative would be a command TELLING the 12 to come eat, and that would be "doce, vengan a comer."
"Ven" does mean "come" as in "come to eat," but in this tense it is singular first person as in "Hey YOU, come to eat," or as in a parent calling a child, "Juan, ven a comer." That would be "John, come to eat."
So, if "ven a comer" is the way it was intended, then the only other option is that "dose" is a noun or name, which seems unlikely, and you would be telling this "dose" person to come to eat. If it is not meant as a name or noun, the phrase is wrong.
Hope this helps.

Ven a comer: It could be "come and eat" (like said to a child), or "come for dinner" or for lunch (an invitation), depending on the context and the country.
