How we price Mexican bar hire
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Timings and hours
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Distance and access to the venue
- The number of people
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The date and rough timings
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
To get a price, just fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll put together a menu and price.
Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
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.
Where the truck can go in Blackfriars
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- Access to unload close to the bar spot
- Agreement from the venue for our bar
Blackfriars is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Why choose Mexican bar hire in Blackfriars?
Bring-your-own is simple but uneven. A staffed bar means everyone is served, including non-drinkers. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
- We talk through licensing with you, whether that’s the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- We suggest a drinks list and send a quote.
- We arrive, set up and serve margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
- After service, we clear the bar away.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Your questions about Mexican bar hire in Blackfriars
Is parking a problem for events in Blackfriars?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Bernie Spain Gardens?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Do you come to Blackfriars?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Blackfriars is within our area. To check your date, use our quote form.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Send us a picture of the access and the space.
