Mexican bar hire for Elmstead events
Mexican bar hire in Elmstead, from our food truck or trailer
Our bar travels to events across Elmstead and nearby: from weddings and parties to work events. It suits mexican-themed parties and launch parties, with Mexican beer, margaritas and agua de jamaica.
In Elmstead, a drinks bar suits courtyard receptions, office parties and evening events. As with any London event, parking and loading need planning. If alcohol is being served, we’ll talk licensing through with you and your venue. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

By late September, sunset is about 7:05pm, and in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting around the bar.

Can I do a taco night myself?
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 will do the serving.
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, and handles allergen information for you.

Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll let you know if it’s a good fit.

Questions from Elmstead
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Elmstead Wood?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
What about parking in Elmstead?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we’ll keep their options separate.
Do you cover Elmstead?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Elmstead is within our area and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, tell us about it on our contact page.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Do you have alcohol-free drinks?
Always. Aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata are alcohol-free, along with soft drinks.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
