How it works
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. In December, the light goes in Burford at about 4:00pm, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:30pm.
- We check availability.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- We tidy up at the end.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Find out what power and water are available

Questions from Burford
Is Burford close to London?
It’s about 69 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St John the Baptist: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Can you keep it mild?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Do you have a licence to sell alcohol?
Alcohol at an event needs the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We go through the licensing with you before the day. GOV.UK explains Temporary Event Notices.
Comparing your options
A standard bar is fine, but a Mexican bar with margaritas and aguas frescas feels like part of the theme. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
What we offer in Burford

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Drinks planning tips
A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:
- Serve food alongside the drinks
- Plan alcohol-free drinks for drivers
- Find out if you need a Temporary Event Notice
- Plan transport home for guests
Alcohol-free drinks are always available, including aguas frescas.
