About the menu
Margaritas
The margarita is the heart of a Mexican bar.
Agua de jamaica
Hibiscus water, sweet and tart.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Your questions about Mexican bar hire in Downend
Will you travel to a small place like Downend?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you come to events in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Do you cover Downend?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Downend is within our area. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
Do we need a licence for the bar?
It depends on the venue. If the venue has no licence, a Temporary Event Notice may be needed. We’ll talk licensing through with you.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Tips for a smooth bar
Some planning tips for the drinks:
- Share bar opening times
- Plan any Temporary Event Notice well ahead
- Plan transport home for guests
- Serve food alongside the drinks
We serve responsibly: no alcohol for under-18s, and we may refuse service to anyone who has had too much.
Soft drinks for drivers.

Planning a drinks bar in Downend
Downend is about 5 miles north of Newbury, in West Berkshire. For an event in Downend, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards. We cater in 155 places across West Berkshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 15 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Shaw House (4.2 miles south). Grand houses and estates tend to have firm rules on alcohol and outside bars, so raise the drinks bar with them early. If the service is at a church such as Church of St Mary, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. With the North Wessex Downs National Landscape within about 5 miles, a countryside drinks reception is an option. Check how the venue handles outside bars and vehicles.
