Your questions about Mexican bar hire in Chawley
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Raleigh 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’ll send what they need from us.
Will you travel to a small place like Chawley?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
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 keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you serve responsibly?
Yes. No alcohol is served to under-18s, and anyone who has had too much will not be served more.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
Can we have the bar on its own?
Yes. The bar can be booked on its own.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
For event organisers in Chawley
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Who books Mexican bar hire in Chawley?
Licensing is talked through with you.
We can help if you’re planning any of the following:
- Wedding drinks receptions
- Festivals and fairs
- Staff parties
- Garden parties
Serving alcohol in Raleigh Park would need the owner’s permission and probably a licence, so a garden or venue is often simpler.
Before booking anyone
- Payment terms and deposit
- How bad weather is handled
- VAT, if it applies
- Travel and parking costs
Planning drinks for every guest
Some planning tips for the drinks:
- Include aguas frescas for non-drinkers
- Share taxi numbers with guests
- Plan water alongside the bar
- Find out if you need a Temporary Event Notice
We serve responsibly: under-18s aren’t served alcohol, and nor is anyone who has had too much.
Margaritas for the drinks reception.
What happens on the day
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. Sunset in Chawley is around 9:25pm in June, so a summer drinks bar can run into the evening in daylight. For a bar running past dusk, ask the venue about outdoor lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- We go through the licensing with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- You get a suggested drinks menu and 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.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park

Planning a drinks bar in Chawley

We serve in 443 places across Oxfordshire, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
Around Chawley, historic houses include Appleton Manor (2.5 miles south-west) and Holywell Manor, Oxford (3.4 miles north-east). Grand houses and estates tend to have firm rules on alcohol and outside bars, so raise the drinks bar with them early.

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.
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.
