Mexican street food near Acol
Mexican street food in Acol, from our food truck or trailer
A taco stall covers many diets at once: we serve vegan and vegetarian fillings and corn tortillas for gluten-free visitors. That helps organisers balance the line-up. It works well for food and music festivals and crew and volunteer catering, with burritos, tacos and vegan tacos.
For a village fête or field event near Acol, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground, the gate and access. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Fairs, fêtes and events in Acol
Acol is about 4 miles south-west of Margate, in Kent. Tell us where your event in Acol will be, and we’ll plan access and set-up. We cover all 922 towns and villages across Kent, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Acol to Canterbury (about 11 miles away).
PTA volunteers planning an event for a school like Birchington Church of England Primary School might like a trader who brings everything and serves quickly.

A firm, sheltered pitch suits a truck or trailer best.

What else we do in Acol
What we need at the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- Spacing from tents and other structures
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
How it works
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests. A December market in Acol loses the light at about 3:50pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:15pm.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
How to prepare
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Share the running order, including any speeches
