What happens on the day

It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our truck or trailer, and get on with serving. At midsummer, it’s light in Budlett's Common until about 9:15pm, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. By late September, sunset is about 7:05pm, and in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting around the bar.

  1. You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
  2. We talk through licensing with you, whether that’s the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
  3. We put together a drinks menu, with alcohol-free choices, and quote for it.
  4. On the day we set up the bar and our bar staff serve your guests.
  5. We pack away when the bar shuts and leave the area tidy.

Common questions in Budlett's Common

Is Budlett's Common close to London?

It is about 36 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.

Can you cater a reception after a service at Five Ash Down Independent Chapel?

Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.

Do you take everything away?

We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.

Do you cater for vegetarian guests?

Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.

What food and drinks do you offer?

Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.

What happens if it rains?

Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.

Can you do gluten-free food?

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

How much space do you need?

Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.

Choosing a Mexican caterer

DIY taco night versus a caterer

You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Prices and what affects them

These are the factors that matter most:

  • Staff for serving and the bar
  • What the venue already provides
  • The number of people
  • Food, drinks or both

The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Getting an accurate quote

When you contact us, it helps to tell us:

  • A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
  • What you’d like on the menu
  • How we drive in and where we can park
  • The date and time of the event

Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
