How our Mexican bar hire works in East Finchley
Responsible serving matters to us: no alcohol for under-18s, and plenty of alcohol-free choices. It works well for engagement and anniversary parties and summer garden parties, serving soft drinks, aguas frescas and margaritas.
In East Finchley, a drinks bar suits courtyard receptions, office parties and evening events. As with any London event, parking and loading need planning, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. If alcohol is being served, we will check the licensing with you and your venue. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

Drinks bars for events in East Finchley
East Finchley is about 5 miles north of Marylebone, in Greater London. Across the N2 area, we can bring the truck or trailer to you, as long as there’s access. We serve in 764 places in Greater London. You can also see our page for London, about 7 miles away.
Historic houses near East Finchley include Heath Hall (1.1 miles south) and Kenwood House (1.3 miles south). Many listed venues control who serves drinks on their premises, so ask yours what it allows. Serving alcohol in Lyttelton Playing Fields would need the owner’s permission and probably a licence, so a garden or venue is often simpler.
Mexican bar hire in N2, N3 and NW11 is planned around your venue and access and your guests. Streets in the area include Oak Lane, Maya Road and High Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. With the A1 close by, East Finchley is easy for us to reach. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Hampstead Garden Suburb (1 mile south-west), Fortis Green (1 mile east), Temple Fortune (1 mile south-west), Muswell Hill (1 mile east) and Golders Green (2 miles south-west).

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
What we need at the venue
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Room for a queue
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- The venue’s permission for an outside bar
In East Finchley, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

FAQs for East Finchley
Could you serve in Lyttelton Playing Fields?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Where would you park in East Finchley?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Can we have the bar on its own?
You can. Book the bar on its own.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we’ll keep their options separate.
Who handles the licensing?
That depends on your venue. Some venues have a premises licence; others need a Temporary Event Notice. We talk it through with you.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will check the licensing with you.

What happens on the day
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A photo of the space helps. A late-September party in East Finchley loses the light at about 7:05pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. In late May, it stays light until about 8:55pm.
