About our Mexican bar hire in Colindale

Serving alcohol at events needs a licence: either the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We will talk licensing through with you. At wedding receptions and evening parties and company summer parties, we can serve margaritas, agua de jamaica and horchata and more.

For a drinks reception in Colindale, a courtyard, forecourt or venue with vehicle access suits the truck or trailer. Tell us about narrow streets, permit bays or a parking suspension. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

The margarita is the heart of a Mexican bar.

DIY taco night or 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.

Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. 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.

Common questions in Colindale

Could you serve our guests after a service at St Matthias the Apostle church?

Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.

Which station is closest to Colindale?

Guests can use Hendon station, about 1 mile south-east of Colindale.

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.

Do you provide allergen information for each dish?

Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.

Do you cater for vegetarian guests?

Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we will keep their options separate.

What’s on the menu?

Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.

Do you bring plates and cutlery?

Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.

Do you need electricity?

Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.

Comparing your options

DIY drinks tables are easy but need constant topping up. Bar staff keep drinks flowing and cold. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Why book with us

  • Events in Colindale and across Greater London
  • Everything served fresh from the hatch
  • A menu built around your guests
  • Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both

See our prices page or the cost guide.

What happens on the day

We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure. Evening drinks in Colindale stay light until about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late 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.

  1. You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
  2. Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
  3. You get a suggested drinks menu and a quote.
  4. On the day we set up the bar and our bar staff serve your guests.
  5. After service, we clear the bar away.

Before we arrive

  • Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
  • Tell us what power and water the site has
  • Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
