Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Which station should guests use for Ramsgate?
Guests can use Ramsgate station, which is right in Ramsgate.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.

How does food truck hire work?
You book the truck or trailer for set hours at your event. We cook to order, serve from the hatch and pack down afterwards.

That depends on your timings and the event. As a guide, it is around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
Can we hire a bar too?
We bring bar staff with the drinks bar and alcohol-free choices. We’ll talk through licensing first.

Why choose food truck hire in Ramsgate?
Burger and pizza vans are familiar. A Mexican food truck offers something less expected while staying easy to eat. There is no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
