Common questions in Longford
Which station should guests use for Longford?
Heathrow Terminal 5 Rail station, about 0.5 miles south-east of the centre.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Arthur Jacob Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Can you send us your trader documents?
Share your trader requirements, and we’ll send what you ask for.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll talk it through.
Do you need power?
Send pitch details and we’ll confirm.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we will recommend how to serve.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
How it works
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. A December market in Longford loses the light at about 3:55pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.

Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- Vehicle access before and after the event
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Is Mexican street food right for your event?
Some street food is slow to serve one order at a time. Our fillings are ready to go, so orders are quick. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
- Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
- Mexican drinks bar: margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas
