Mexican bar hire for Croydon events
Mexican bar hire in Croydon, from our food truck or trailer
Soft drinks and alcohol-free choices are always part of the bar, so drivers and non-drinkers aren’t left with tap water. Popular choices include horchata, Mexican beer and margaritas, which works well for themed celebrations and end-of-year parties.
For a drinks reception in Croydon, a courtyard, forecourt or venue with vehicle access suits the truck or trailer. Tell us about narrow streets, permit bays or a parking suspension. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.

How the day works
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. Winter receptions in Croydon are dark by about 3:55pm in December, so plan where guests will gather, and how it will be lit. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat

We cater in 764 places in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Croydon to London (about 9 miles away).
Anyone leaving the car at home will want to know that Croydon has its own station, South Croydon station. If you’re looking at a historic venue around Croydon, check its rules on outside bars and vehicles early.

What Mexican bar hire costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Distance and access to the venue
- Your choice of food and drinks
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The venue or postcode
- What power and water the site has
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just drop us a line using the enquiry form.
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- A bar spot away from homes
- Details of power and water on site
- Room for a queue
As a London location, Croydon is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we offer
- Fruit aguas frescas
- Mexican beer
- Margaritas
- Agua de jamaica (hibiscus)
- Soft drinks
- Horchata
Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
For event organisers in Croydon
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Questions from Croydon
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Park Hill Recreation Ground?
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 Croydon?
Guests can use South Croydon station, which is right in Croydon.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Send us a photo of the access and the space.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll check the licensing with you and your venue.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do you have a licence to sell alcohol?
It depends on the venue. Some venues have a premises licence; others need a Temporary Event Notice. We talk it through with you.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we’ll keep their options separate.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will suggest mild options.
Perfect for your event in Croydon
Aguas frescas mean non-drinkers get something special too.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Common bookings include:
- Licensed festivals
- Client events and launches
- Work celebrations
- Mexican-themed parties
Serving alcohol in Park Hill Recreation Ground would need the owner’s permission and probably a licence, so a garden or venue is often simpler.

- When final numbers are due
- The wet-weather plan
- What the caterer needs from your venue
- Whether VAT is included
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
