About our Mexican bar hire in Ash Vale
We set up the bar at events in and around Ash Vale: from weddings and parties to work events. Popular choices include horchata, alcohol-free drinks and agua de jamaica, and it suits weddings, day or evening and taco nights and themed parties.
For a party in a place like Ash Vale, a drinks bar is easy and sociable. Tell us about the drive, gates and power. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Planning the serving area
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- Agreement from the venue for our bar
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- Level, firm ground for the bar set-up
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Margaritas
- Agua de jamaica (hibiscus)
- Horchata
- Mexican beer
- Fruit aguas frescas
- Soft drinks
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Popular choices
Soft drinks
There is always something alcohol-free.
Tamarind and fruit waters
Fruit waters are a fresh alcohol-free option.
Occasions we cater for in Ash Vale
Margaritas and Mexican beer go perfectly with tacos.
Whatever the occasion, the serving truck can be a highlight. We can cater:
- Themed celebrations
- End-of-year parties
- Company summer parties
- Festivals and fairs
Serving alcohol in Ramillies Park would need the owner’s permission and probably a licence, so a garden or venue is often simpler.

FAQs for Ash Vale
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Is Ash Vale close to London?
Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you check ages at the bar?
Responsible serving comes first: alcohol-free drinks for under-18s, and we offer water and alcohol-free choices throughout.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Do you provide bar staff?
Yes, our bar staff serve your guests. They serve responsibly.
How big an event can you cater?
Our truck and trailer service typically suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
Planning the bar
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Make sure there’s water for guests
- Share bar opening times
- Allow time for a Temporary Event Notice if one is needed
- Include aguas frescas for non-drinkers
