About our Mexican bar hire in Blackthorn

Add our food for tacos, burritos and nachos with the drinks, so food and drinks come from one booking. It suits summer garden parties and anniversaries and engagements, serving Mexican beer, soft drinks and agua de jamaica.

In a rural spot like Blackthorn, drinks can be served from our truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, given access. We’ll talk licensing through with you. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

FAQs for Blackthorn

Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?

Yes. The church itself is not 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 come out to small places like Blackthorn?

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.

Is the food suitable for children?

Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.

How long are you on site?

It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.

What happens if it rains?

We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.

Do you cater for coeliacs?

Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food.

Do you provide plates and napkins?

Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.

Do you follow the rules on serving alcohol?

Always. No alcohol is served to under-18s, and anyone who has had too much will not be served more.

Prices and what affects them

Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

  • Guest numbers
  • Plates, napkins and cutlery
  • Whether you add a drinks bar or food
  • Serving staff

Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.

What we need to know

The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:

  • Roughly how many adults and children
  • Diets and allergies you know about
  • Your menu ideas
  • The address or venue name

We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. Contact us for a quote: just send a quick message through our quote form.

Drinks bars for events in Blackthorn

Blackthorn is about 3 miles south-east of Bicester, in Oxfordshire.

We cover 443 places across Oxfordshire. Our nearest city page is Oxford, about 10 miles away.

A drinks bar at a garden or hall near a church like Church of St Mary the Virgin gives guests something to enjoy while photos are taken. Close to Blackthorn are historic houses such as Boarstall Tower (3.3 miles south). Grand houses and estates tend to have firm rules on alcohol and outside bars, so raise the drinks bar with them early.

DIY taco night versus a caterer

Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
