Mexican street food in Flete
How our Mexican street food works in Flete
Organisers can book us as a public stall or to feed crew, volunteers and hospitality areas. For music and food festivals and feeding crew and volunteers, we will put together a menu of quesadillas, tacos and vegan tacos and more.
Near Flete, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food truck is a big help. You will know what’s included before you book: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
- Book crew catering in advance
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
- Share power and water details early
Orders are served throughout the event.
A vegan filling on every menu.

What happens on the day
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Summer events in Flete have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- We check your dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We trade, then pack down.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
How to get a price
Send us the date, your venue or CT9 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and you’ll get menu ideas and a price. Just send us your details through our quote form.

Street food for events around Flete
Flete is about 1 mile south-west of Margate, in Kent. Give us the address of your event in Flete, and we will plan access and set-up. Flete is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring Mexican street food. We cater right across the region, from Flete to Canterbury (about 14 miles away).
For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as St. Catherine's Church, a taco truck adds hot food to the cakes and tombola. Hot food from a truck or trailer could give a school fair, for a school such as St Gregory's Catholic Primary School, a busy corner. The coast is within about 3 miles of Flete, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch, on firm ground rather than sand.
