How our Mexican bar hire works in Colthrop
Alcohol at an event needs the right licence: a premises licence at the venue, or a Temporary Event Notice. We’ll check the licensing with you. On the menu are soft drinks, aguas frescas and Mexican beer, and it is a good fit for anniversaries and engagements and festivals and fairs.
Near Colthrop, a drinks bar suits gardens, barns and marquees, as long as we can get in. We will talk licensing through with you. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

FAQs for Colthrop
Which station is closest to Colthrop?
The closest is Thatcham station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Is Colthrop close to London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will recommend how to serve.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
About the menu
Soft drinks
There is always something alcohol-free.
Margaritas
The margarita is the heart of a Mexican bar.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Mexican bar hire or something else?
A standard bar is fine, but a Mexican bar with margaritas and aguas frescas feels like part of the theme. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.
