Mexican bar hire for Ashey events
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
How our Mexican bar hire works in Ashey
Margaritas are the centrepiece: lime, tequila and orange liqueur, served cold, with or without a salted rim. On the menu are soft drinks, aguas frescas and horchata, and it is a good fit for birthday parties and product launches and client events.
For a country party near Ashey, a drinks bar in a garden or field sets the mood. Let us know about access and soft ground. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Questions from Ashey
Do you come out to small places like Ashey?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Ashey for guests?
Smallbrook Junction station, about 1.5 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you cook on site?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will talk licensing through with you.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Do you have alcohol-free drinks?
There are always alcohol-free options, including aguas frescas and soft drinks.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.

Yes, we do. Ashey is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
