Running an event in Egypt
Egypt is about 3 miles north of Slough, in Slough. Events in Egypt are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. Egypt is one of 31 towns and villages in Slough we cover. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 17 miles away.
If you’re organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as Farnham Common Infant School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. A fundraiser for a church like St John the Evangelist might use a food truck to give visitors a reason to stay longer.

Mexican street food in Egypt, served fresh
We agree a stall menu with you, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, plus a vegan option such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. It suits music and food festivals and school and charity events, with loaded nachos, burrito bowls and tacos.
Rural events near Egypt can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food truck is a big help. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Step by step
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. By late September, it’s dark in Egypt at around 7:05pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

Dietary needs and planning tips
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Confirm power and water with traders
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
- Schedule crew meals
If crew or volunteer meals are booked, they’re served at the agreed times.
A vegan filling on every menu.
Planning the serving area
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
- The event’s site rules and timings
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Other catering in Egypt
Can I do a taco night myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Egypt questions
Do you come out to small places like Egypt?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Which station should guests use for Egypt?
Burnham station, about 2.9 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
How quickly can you serve?
Fillings are cooked ahead and kept hot, so orders are assembled quickly.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
