Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
The menu, item by item
Mexican beer
Cold beer and tacos go together.
Margaritas
A classic margarita, served cold.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Colden Common questions
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
What’s the nearest station to Colden Common for guests?
Guests can use Shawford station, about 1.9 miles north of Colden Common.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a photo of the access and the space, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Is there something for non-drinkers?
Yes. Aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata are alcohol-free, along with soft drinks.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Hampshire. Find your area.
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 you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll check the licensing with you.

How it works
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. Evening drinks in Colden Common stay light until about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so a summer drinks bar can run into the evening in daylight. String lights or lanterns near the hatch make a later bar easier to find.
- 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.
