Common questions in Alscot
Which station is closest to Alscot?
Guests can use Monks Risborough station, about 0.5 miles north-east of Alscot.
Do you come to school fairs around Alscot?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Will there be long queues?
Tell us expected visitor numbers and we’ll plan for peak times.
Do you have dairy-free options?
We can. We offer dairy-free options, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
Where the truck can go in Alscot
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
- The event’s site rules and timings
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
Is Mexican street food right for your event?
Hot-cabinet food lacks appeal. Our food is made to order. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
Why us?
- Quoted for your event
- We cover Alscot and the whole of Buckinghamshire
- A menu agreed with you
- Service planned around your numbers

Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
The process
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. For an evening event in Alscot, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; beyond that, ask the organiser how the site will be lit.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Give us your final numbers and diets
