How it works
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. By late September, sunset in Elvington comes at roughly 7:00pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. In late May, it stays light until about 8:45pm.
- We check availability.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Name one person we can ask on the day

On the menu are agua de jamaica, soft drinks and Mexican beer, which works well for anniversaries and engagements and work celebrations.
Near Elvington, a drinks bar suits gardens, barns and marquees, as long as we can get in. We’ll check the licensing with you. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Prices and what affects them
We quote for your event, which reflects:
- The menu you choose
- What the venue already provides
- Food, drinks or both
- The length of service
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The date and rough timings
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Expected numbers
- The address or venue name
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, use our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Your questions about Mexican bar hire in Elvington
Which station is closest to Elvington?
Guests can use Shepherds Well station, about 1.9 miles south-west of Elvington.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Planning the bar
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Have plenty of water available
- Plan any Temporary Event Notice well ahead
- Include aguas frescas for non-drinkers
- Think about how guests get home
We can give allergen information for every drink.
Alcohol-free aguas frescas for all ages.
What we need at the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- A flat, firm spot for the bar
- The venue’s permission for an outside bar
- Details of power and water on site
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Horchata
- Agua de jamaica (hibiscus)

About the menu
Soft drinks
Soft drinks alongside the rest.
Horchata
A sweet, creamy rice drink with cinnamon.
Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
