Can I do a taco night myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Mexican bar hire in Cocking, from our food truck or trailer
There are always alcohol-free drinks on the bar, so drivers and non-drinkers are not left with tap water. It suits engagement and anniversary parties and work celebrations, serving soft drinks, horchata and alcohol-free drinks.
In a rural spot like Cocking, drinks can be served from our truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, as long as we can get in. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
How the day works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t normally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. A summer drinks reception in Cocking has daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. By late September, sunset is about 7:05pm, and in December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting around the bar.
- First, we check your date.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll talk it through.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will go through the licensing with you.

Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.

Is Mexican bar hire right for your event?
A self-service drinks table is simple but can run dry or go warm. A staffed bar keeps everything under control. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
