Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- The menu you choose
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Travel, parking and access
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Your menu ideas
- The date and time of the event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- A picture of where we’d park
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Your questions about Mexican bar hire in Blackbrook
Do you come to events in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
How far is Blackbrook from London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you come to a private house?
It 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 will talk it through.
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. 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.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Can we book the bar without food?
Of course. Our Mexican catering can be added too.
Do you have a licence to sell alcohol?
It depends on the venue. Some venues have a premises licence; others need a Temporary Event Notice. We talk it through with you.
Step by step
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we have agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. Sunset in Blackbrook is around 9:20pm in June, so a summer drinks bar can run into the evening in daylight. String lights or lanterns near the hatch make a later bar easier to find.
- We check availability.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Give us a contact for the day

Blackbrook: venues, access and licensing
Blackbrook is about 2 miles south-east of Dorking, in Surrey. From the centre of Blackbrook to the outskirts, Mexican bar hire works the same way: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cater in all 395 towns and villages in Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Blackbrook to Crawley (9 miles away).
Guests travelling by rail: Holmwood station is about 2 miles away.

DIY taco night or 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.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Mexican bar hire or something else?
With tacos on the menu, a Mexican drinks bar is the natural partner. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.
