Questions from Colwood
Will you travel to a small place like Colwood?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Can we have the bar on its own?
Of course. Ask about adding tacos and burritos.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we’ll park.
How we price Mexican bar hire
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Serving staff
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Whether you need disposables
- How long we are needed on site
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of where we’d park
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
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 be with your guests, we will do the serving.
How it works
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We’re ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule. A late-September party in Colwood loses the light at about 7:05pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:50pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We talk through licensing with you.
- We agree a drinks menu.
- Our bar staff serve your guests at the agreed times.
- We clear the bar at the end.
Preparing for the day
