Mexican bar hire for your event in Catford
Add our food for tacos, burritos and nachos with the drinks, so food and drinks come from one booking. At engagement celebrations and product launches and client events, we can serve margaritas, soft drinks and aguas frescas and more.
For a drinks reception in Catford, a courtyard, forecourt or venue with vehicle access suits the truck or trailer. Let us know about parking, permits and any parking suspension. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Where the truck can go in Catford
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- The venue’s permission for an outside bar
- Firm, level ground where we can set up
- Space for guests to queue at the bar
Catford is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Common questions in Catford
Where would you park in Catford?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Could you serve in Forster Memorial Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
What’s on the drinks menu?
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, plus soft drinks. We plan the list with you.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.

Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Catford is within our area. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Step by step
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our food truck or trailer, and serve without fuss. Evening drinks in Catford stay light until about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, which suits an outdoor bar. String lights or lanterns near the hatch make a later bar easier to find.
- Send us your date, venue, numbers and drinks ideas.
- We talk through licensing with you, whether that’s the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- We suggest a drinks list and send a quote.
- On the day we set up the bar and our bar staff serve your guests.
- When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Give us a contact for the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
