Upper Upnor: your questions answered
How far is Upper Upnor from London?
It’s about 27 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Lower Lines Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Do you do a drinks bar?
You can add our drinks bar, with bar staff serving margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We will talk licensing through with you before the day.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you cater for big events?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Bigger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Planners, venues and businesses
Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

These are the factors that matter most:
- Food, drinks or both
- The length of service
- The number of people

There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
