Drinks receptions around Clerkenwell
Clerkenwell is about 2 miles north of London, in Greater London. We cater events at gardens, halls and venues around Clerkenwell. Clerkenwell is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we can bring Mexican bar hire.
A gathering in King Square Gardens? Check the park’s rules first, as alcohol and vehicles usually need permission. Guests travelling by rail: Clerkenwell has its own station, Farringdon station.
Here we cover the N1, EC1V and WC1X postcode area. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Long Lane, City Road and Noel Road.

Planning the bar
Some planning tips for the drinks:
- Ask your venue about its licence early

If timings change, tell us and we’ll adjust.
Margaritas for the drinks reception, licensing permitting.
Comparing your options
Bring-your-own is simple but uneven. A staffed bar means everyone is served. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
Why us?
- Service planned around your numbers
- A menu built around your guests
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar

Can I do a taco night myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
The process
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. A late-September party in Clerkenwell loses the light at about 7:05pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. In late May, it stays light until about 8:50pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- 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
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Clerkenwell questions
Is it possible to have you in King Square Gardens?
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.
What’s the nearest station to Clerkenwell for guests?
Guests can use Farringdon station, which is right in Clerkenwell.
Do you cook on site?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can we book the bar without food?
Of course. Ask about adding tacos and burritos.
Is there something for non-drinkers?
There are always alcohol-free options, including aguas frescas and soft drinks.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
