How our Mexican bar hire works in Barnes

Pair the bar with our Mexican catering for tacos, burritos and nachos, so food and drinks come from one booking. Popular choices include alcohol-free drinks, aguas frescas and margaritas, and it’s a good fit for licensed festivals and end-of-year and Christmas parties.

For a drinks reception in Barnes, a courtyard, forecourt or venue with vehicle access suits the truck or trailer. Let us know about parking, permits and any parking suspension. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Barnes questions

Which station should guests use for Barnes?

Barnes has its own station: Barnes Bridge station.

Could you serve in Barn Elms?

Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.

How is the food prepared?

Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.

What do you need at the venue?

A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.

How big an event can you cater?

That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.

What does a Mexican bar cost?

We do not publish set prices, as each event is different. Send your details for a quote.

Do you have alcohol-free drinks?

Every bar has alcohol-free choices, from aguas frescas to soft drinks.

Is the food suitable for children?

Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.

Drinks bars for events in Barnes

Barnes is about 2 miles west of Fulham, in Greater London. From the centre of Barnes to the outskirts, Mexican bar hire works the same way: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Barnes is one of 764 places in Greater London where we can bring Mexican bar hire. You can also see our page for London, about 7 miles away.

Serving alcohol in Barn Elms would need the owner’s permission and probably a licence, so a garden or venue is often simpler. For a drinks-led event, rail details help, and Barnes Bridge station is in Barnes itself.

For Mexican bar hire in SW13, SW15 and SW14, we plan around your venue and the route in. Whether your event is on Church Road, Station Road and Barnes High Street or a nearby road, we’ll plan where to park and serve.

Who books Mexican bar hire in Barnes?

Our staff run the bar.

Here are some of the events we cater:

  • Themed celebrations
  • Product launches and client events
  • Big birthday celebrations
  • Staff parties

If the service is at a church such as Barnes Methodist Church, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church.

Before booking anyone

  • The deposit and payment dates
  • What the caterer needs from your venue
  • Plates and napkins, or nothing at all
  • Whether travel is included

How to compare caterers

Can I do a taco night myself?

Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.

If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

Step by step

We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. By late September, sunset in Barnes comes at roughly 7:05pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. In late May, it stays light until about 8:55pm.

  1. Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
  2. We talk through licensing with you.
  3. We agree a drinks menu.
  4. Our bar staff serve your guests at the agreed times.
  5. We pack down when the bar closes.

Before we arrive

  • Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
  • Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
  • Find out what power and water are available

Ask for a quote

Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

What we need at the venue

Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:

  • Firm, level ground where we can set up
  • A clear area in front of the bar
  • Vehicle access near the bar

In Barnes, 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.

Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
