DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Planning the bar
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Plan alcohol-free drinks for drivers

A Mexican drinks bar in Carterton: local tips
Carterton is about 16 miles west of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. Anywhere in OX18, we can serve your guests. Carterton is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Carterton to Oxford (about 16 miles away).
If you’re looking at a historic venue around Carterton, check its rules on outside bars and vehicles early. If the service is at a church such as St John the Evangelist, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church.
We serve at events all over the OX18 postcode area. Local streets include Marigold Square, Britannia Close and Beverley Crescent; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. Being close to the B4020 and B4477, Carterton is easy for us to reach. For events just outside Carterton, we cover Brize Norton (1 mile east), Black Bourton (2 miles south), Minster Lovell (3 miles north-east), Curbridge (3 miles east) and Bampton (3 miles south-east). Further out, we also cater in Abingdon-on-Thames (15 miles south-east), Witney (5 miles east), Wantage (14 miles south-east), Grove (13 miles south-east), Faringdon (8 miles south) and Kidlington (14 miles east). Carterton is one of the larger places we cover in Oxfordshire, with lots of choice for events.

- Nearby schools include Carterton Community College (under half a mile south-west)
- Pubs nearby include The Golden Eagle pub (0.6 miles south)
Is Mexican bar hire right for your event?
A standard bar is fine, but margaritas and aguas frescas give the bar character. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Why us?
- Allergen information for every dish
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- Fast service, even with a queue

Carterton questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at St John the Evangelist?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
How far is Carterton from central London?
It is about 67 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Will someone run the bar?
We bring bar staff.
Can we have the bar on its own?
Yes, though it pairs well with tacos. Our Mexican catering can be added too.
How much is the bar?
Every bar is quoted for individually, depending on guests, drinks and timings. Contact us for a quote.
The process
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not typically stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. A late-September party in Carterton loses the light at about 7:10pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 9:00pm.
- We check availability.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
How to prepare
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Find out what power and water are available
- Share the running order, including any speeches
How to get a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
