We adapt if the timings shift.
Ask us about glassware or cups and we’ll confirm the options with your quote.
Where the truck can go in Ardley
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Access to unload close to the bar spot
- A clear area in front of the bar
- The venue’s permission for an outside bar
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices

- Margaritas
- Soft drinks
- Agua de jamaica (hibiscus)

Comparing your options
A self-service drinks table is simple but can run dry or go warm. Bar staff keep drinks flowing and cold. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why book with us
- A clear quote
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- A menu built around your guests
- Fast service, even with a queue

FAQs for Ardley
How far is Ardley from London?
It’s about 57 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Can we book the bar without food?
Yes, though it pairs well with tacos. Ask about adding tacos and burritos.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t usually stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
How much is the bar?
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. Send your details for a quote.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
How the day works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a photo of the space if you’re unsure. Sunset in Ardley is around 9:30pm in June, so a summer drinks bar can run into the evening in daylight. For a bar running past dusk, ask the venue about outdoor lighting.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
- Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
- We suggest a drinks list and send a quote.
- We arrive, set up and serve margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
- We pack away when the bar shuts and leave the area tidy.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
