Mexican bar hire for Canning Town events
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Travel, parking and access
- The number of people
- What the venue already provides
- Your choice of food and drinks
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we’ll set out what’s included.

To speed things up, tell us:
- Expected numbers
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Your date and when you want service to start
Send us the date, your venue or E16 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and you will get menu ideas and a price. Just use our quote form.
About our Mexican bar hire in Canning Town
Add our food for tacos, burritos and nachos with the drinks, so you deal with one team. Popular choices include soft drinks, aguas frescas and Mexican beer, which works well for end-of-year parties and garden parties.
A Mexican drinks bar works well for receptions and parties in Canning Town. As with any London event, parking and loading need planning, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. We will check the licensing with you and your venue. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run behind, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. Sunset in Canning Town is around 9:20pm in June, so a summer drinks bar can run into the evening in daylight. String lights or lanterns near the hatch make a later bar easier to find.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
- We talk through licensing with you, whether that is the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- We suggest a drinks list and send a quote.
- On the day, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
- When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Give us a contact for the day
How to get a price
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we will make suggestions. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.

Your questions about Mexican bar hire in Canning Town
What about parking in Canning Town?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
What’s the nearest station to Canning Town for guests?
Canning Town has its own station: Custom House station.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
What drinks do you serve?
Margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We plan the list with you.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Will someone run the bar?
Our bar staff run the bar. Responsible serving comes first.
Do you cater in Canning Town?
Yes, we do. Canning Town is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.

How it compares
Some bars offer little for non-drinkers. Our aguas frescas are made for them. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
Why book with us
- Service planned around your numbers
- Allergen information for everything we serve
- A menu agreed with you
- Menus for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests
Read our pricing and our guide to catering costs.
What we need at the venue
We’ll be honest if a space will not work, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Details of power and water on site
- Space for guests to queue at the bar
- A spot away from neighbours’ windows if the bar runs late
In Canning Town, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
