Mexican bar hire in Coldharbour, served fresh
There are always alcohol-free drinks on the bar, for drivers, children and anyone not drinking. It suits licensed festivals and summer garden parties, with margaritas, alcohol-free drinks and Mexican beer.
In Coldharbour, a drinks bar suits courtyard receptions, office parties and evening events. As with any London event, parking and loading need planning, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. If alcohol is being served, we will go through the licensing with you and your venue. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Tips for a smooth bar
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Give the council notice in good time for a Temporary Event Notice
- Think about how guests get home
- Check how alcohol will be licensed at your venue
- Check allergies with guests, including for drinks
Responsible serving comes first: no alcohol for under-18s, and we may refuse service to anyone who has had too much.

Space, access and the venue
We will agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- A clear area in front of the bar
- A premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice in place
In Coldharbour, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
What we offer
- Mexican beer
- Fruit aguas frescas
- Margaritas
- Agua de jamaica (hibiscus)
- Horchata
- Soft drinks
Questions from Coldharbour
Could you serve in Elmstead Wood?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Which station is closest to Coldharbour?
Mottingham station, about 0.6 miles north of the centre.
Do you do margaritas?
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 will go through the licensing with you.
Who handles the licensing?
It depends on the venue. Some venues have a premises licence; others need a Temporary Event Notice. We’ll check the licensing with you.
Do you cook on site?
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.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will recommend how to serve.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues have rules for 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.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.

- First, we check your date.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We tidy up at the end.
