How our Mexican bar hire works in Acton
Responsible serving matters to us: no alcohol for under-18s, and plenty of alcohol-free choices. On the menu are alcohol-free drinks, horchata and aguas frescas, and it suits festivals and fairs and winter celebrations.
In a rural spot like Acton, drinks can be served from our food truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, given access. We’ll go through the licensing with you. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Questions from Acton
Can you serve near the sea around Acton?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Is Acton close to London?
It’s about 48 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so contact us early.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, for instance a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Do you provide bar staff?
Our bar staff run the bar. Responsible serving comes first.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
How it compares
A self-service drinks table is simple but can run dry or go warm. A staffed bar keeps everything under control. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.

What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can.

- We talk through licensing with you.
- You choose the drinks with us.
- We serve drinks responsibly on the day.
