Margate: your questions answered
Could you come to a seaside event near Margate?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Which station should guests use for Margate?
Margate station, about 0.6 miles north-west of the centre.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. For alcohol, we’ll check the licensing with you and your venue.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food.
Do you run a bar at festivals?
We can add our drinks bar if the event is licensed for it. Licensing is checked with you first.
Can you cater for crew and volunteers?
Yes. Crew, volunteer and hospitality catering is available, with or without a public stall.
Mexican street food in Margate, from our truck or trailer
We trade at festivals, fairs, markets, school fairs and community events. We serve loaded nachos, tacos and vegan tacos, which works well for street food and farmers’ markets and race days and sports events.
School fairs, fêtes and summer events in Margate suit a taco truck: it draws a crowd and serves quickly. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Comparing your options
Burger and hot dog stalls are familiar but similar. A Mexican trader adds variety. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

What Mexican street food costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The number of people
- Your choice of food and drinks
- How many staff you need
- What the venue already provides
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican street food. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many adults and children
- What power and water the site has
- Your menu ideas
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

Summer events in Margate have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading.
