Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
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. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.

How it works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we will adjust where we can. A late-September party in Bunce Common loses the light at about 7:05pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:50pm.
- We check availability.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- 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
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, use our quote form.
