Mexican bar hire for your event in Arkley
A Mexican drinks bar brings margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas to your event, with bar staff to serve your guests. It works on its own or alongside our food. For fairs and community events and milestone birthdays, we will put together a menu of margaritas, Mexican beer and soft drinks for your guests.
In Arkley, a drinks bar suits courtyard receptions, office parties and evening events. Parking and loading need planning, as with any London event, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. We will talk licensing through with you and your venue. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.

We talk licensing through with you, so there are no surprises.
We can help if you’re planning any of the following:

Drinks planning tips
A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:
- Ensure there is water for guests
- Check allergies with guests, including for drinks
- Add food if the bar runs for a while
- Find out if you need a Temporary Event Notice
Allergen information is available for every drink.
Add our Mexican catering for tacos, burritos and nachos.
Space, access and the venue
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A clear area in front of the bar
- A bar spot away from homes
- Details of power and water on site
In Arkley, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

Arkley: your questions answered
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Peter's Church?
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 will check the access.
Could you serve in Whitings Hill Open Space?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Can you serve in the rain?
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.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will talk licensing through with you.
Do you provide bar staff?
We bring bar staff, and serve throughout the agreed hours.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.
Can you keep it mild?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our food truck or trailer, and serve without fuss. By late September, sunset in Arkley comes at roughly 7:05pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. In late May, it stays light until about 8:55pm.
