Your questions about Mexican bar hire in Elephant and Castle
What’s the nearest station to Elephant and Castle for guests?
Elephant and Castle has its own station: Elephant & Castle station.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Newington Gardens?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Can we have the bar on its own?
Yes, though it pairs well with tacos. Our Mexican catering can be added too.
What can we have at the bar?
Margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We plan the list with you.
Can children have drinks from the bar?
Yes. Aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata are alcohol-free, along with soft drinks.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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 be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

We quote for your event, which reflects:
