Couples leaving a church such as Church of St Mary could be greeted with margaritas and aguas frescas at the reception.

Planning the bar
Some planning tips for the drinks:
- Include aguas frescas for non-drinkers
- Tell us when the bar should open and close
- Ask your venue about its licence early
- Allow time for a Temporary Event Notice if one is needed
We set up the bar before guests arrive, so drinks are ready when you are.
Aguas frescas for children and non-drinkers.
How it works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t generally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. In December, the light goes in Bockhanger at about 3:50pm, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:15pm.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- We check the licensing with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- You get a suggested drinks menu and a quote.
- On the day, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
- After service, we clear the bar away.
Before we arrive
- Find out what power and water are available
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Give us a contact for the day
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, send a quick message through our quote form.

Bockhanger: your questions answered
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Could you serve in Ashford Warren and Hoads Wood?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
What’s on the drinks menu?
Our bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata, plus alcohol-free choices.
Who clears up?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll talk it through.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Space, access and the venue
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A flat, firm spot for the bar
- Somewhere to park and unload nearby
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
