How our Mexican bar hire works in Chalk
Our bar staff serve responsibly: alcohol-free drinks on offer, and no alcohol for anyone under 18. On the menu are margaritas, agua de jamaica and aguas frescas, which works well for launch parties and weddings, day or evening.
In a rural spot like Chalk, drinks can be served from our food truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, given access. We’ll talk licensing through with you. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Tips for a smooth bar
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Let us know how many non-drinkers to expect
- Pair the bar with hot food
- Ensure drivers have good choices
- Think about how guests get home
We serve responsibly: under-18s are not served alcohol, and nor is anyone who has had too much.
Add our Mexican catering for tacos, burritos and nachos.

What happens on the day
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain does not typically stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. A summer drinks reception in Chalk has daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, ideal for drinks outdoors. In late September it’s dark around 7:00pm, and in December by about 3:50pm, so evening bars need lighting.
- First, we check your date.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

Planners, venues and businesses
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
What we need at the venue
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A flat, firm spot for the bar
- Room for a queue
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
Popular choices
- Horchata
- Margaritas
- Soft drinks
- Mexican beer
- Fruit aguas frescas
- Agua de jamaica (hibiscus)
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- How many guests we are serving
- Food, drinks or both
- How many staff you need
- Whether you need disposables
Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Roughly how many adults and children
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. To send your details, send a quick message through our quote form.
Questions from Chalk
Is Chalk close to London?
It is about 22 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Shorne Woods Country Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Is there something for non-drinkers?
Every bar has alcohol-free choices, from aguas frescas to soft drinks.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we will talk it through.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Is Mexican bar hire right for your event?
Wine and fizz are classic but expected. Margaritas and Mexican beer feel more relaxed. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
