Prices and what affects them
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Whether you need disposables
- The menu you choose
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Distance and access to the venue
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Where the event is
- The date and rough timings
- A picture of where we’d park
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will come back with a clear quote.
Mexican bar hire in Barkingside, from our truck or trailer
Margaritas are the centrepiece: tequila, lime and orange liqueur over ice. For birthday parties and festivals and fairs, we will put together a menu of margaritas, alcohol-free drinks and soft drinks and more.
A Mexican drinks bar works well for receptions and parties in Barkingside. As with any London event, parking and loading need planning. We will check the licensing with you and your venue. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. A late-September party in Barkingside loses the light at about 7:05pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:50pm.
- First, we check your date.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- We tidy up at the end.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

Other catering in Barkingside
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

Your questions about Mexican bar hire in Barkingside
Which station should guests use for Barkingside?
Guests can use Seven Kings station, about 1.6 miles south of Barkingside.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Children's Church And Lych Gate At Barnardo's?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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.
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 happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
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.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a picture and we’ll talk it through.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
