Mexican catering in Acol, from our truck or trailer
Our food truck or trailer travels to events across Acol and nearby: private gardens, venue grounds, courtyards and fields, as long as there’s safe access. For engagement and anniversary parties and milestone birthdays, we can serve quesadillas, burritos and burrito bowls and more.
In a rural place like Acol, access is the main thing to plan: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
The process
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we have agreed, planned around your event. Planning an evening event in Acol? Sunset is around 8:45pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. Festoon lights or floodlights help once it gets dark.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.

Planning a food truck in Acol
Acol is about 4 miles south-west of Margate, in Kent. For Mexican catering in Acol, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. Acol is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. We cater right across the region, from Acol to Canterbury (11 miles away).
If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like St Mildreds Church, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal. Nearby historic houses include Quex Park (0.8 miles north-east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and vehicles early. Coastal events near Acol, which is within about 4 miles of the sea, bring wind and sand into the planning. Tell us exactly where you’d like us and we’ll check access.
This part of Kent takes in CT7, so your event can be anywhere in it. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on The Street, Dilnot Lane and Margate Hill. Nearby, we also cater events in Mount Pleasant (1 mile south), Birchington (1 mile north), Way (1 mile south-east), Minster (2 miles south) and Westgate-on-Sea (2 miles north-east).

- Local pubs include Crown & Sceptre pub (within half a mile north)
- Other local spots include Margate West (2.4 miles north-east)
DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests help themselves.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.
Why choose Mexican catering in Acol?
The food is bright and generous that fits informal events in Acol.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Common bookings include:

What to look for in a quote
- The deadline for final numbers
- Space, access, power and water needs
- Whether travel is included
- Who provides plates and napkins
What’s on the menu
Burritos and burrito bowls
Rice, beans, a filling and toppings rolled in a large tortilla, or served as a bowl instead.
Build-your-own taco bar
Fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings laid out for guests to help themselves, with tortillas kept warm. Each guest makes tacos their way.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Travel, parking and access
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Next to a hog roast or a barbecue, Mexican street food is easier for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, because fillings and toppings are kept separate. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Menus chosen with you
- Quoted for your event
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Events in Acol and across Kent

What else we do in Acol
Your questions about Mexican catering in Acol
Do you cater in villages like Acol?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
How far is Acol from London?
About 61 miles from central London, and we cover it.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
Do you cover Acol?
We do. Acol is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
