Mexican bar hire for Fish Island events
About our Mexican bar hire in Fish Island
Aguas frescas are Mexico’s fresh fruit and flower drinks: hibiscus agua de jamaica, horchata, tamarind and fruit waters. They’re a good alcohol-free choice for everyone. On the menu are soft drinks, agua de jamaica and Mexican beer, and it’s a good fit for end-of-year parties and themed celebrations.
For a drinks reception in Fish Island, a courtyard, forecourt or venue with vehicle access suits the truck or trailer. Let us know about parking, permits and any parking suspension. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Prices and what affects them
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- How many staff you need
- Timings and hours
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- The number of people
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The date and time of the event
- The address or venue name
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our food truck or trailer, and serve without fuss. In December, the light goes in Fish Island at about 3:55pm, so plan where guests will gather, and how it will be lit. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- Send us your date, venue, numbers and drinks ideas.
- We talk through licensing with you, whether that is the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- We put together a drinks menu, with alcohol-free choices, and quote for it.
- We arrive, set up and serve margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
- After service, we clear the bar away.
Preparing for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Planning help
Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

FAQs for Fish Island
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Mary of Eton?
Yes. The church itself is not 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 will check the access.
What about parking in Fish Island?
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.
Do you have a licence to sell alcohol?
You will need either the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We check the licensing with you before the day. See GOV.UK for Temporary Event Notices.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Who clears up?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will talk it through.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Planning the bar
A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:
- Serve food alongside the drinks
- Ask your venue about its licence early
- Plan any Temporary Event Notice well ahead
- Have plenty of water available
After service, we clear the bar away.

Close by, we cover events in Hackney Wick (1 mile north), Old Ford (1 mile south), Donnybrook Quarter (1 mile south-west), Bow (1 mile south) and East Village (1 mile north-east). We also cater in nearby towns such as London (4 miles south-west), City of Westminster (6 miles west), Marylebone (6 miles west), Kensington (8 miles west), St Pancras (4 miles west) and Shoreditch (3 miles west).

Where the truck can go in Fish Island
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Firm, level ground where we can set up
- Agreement from the venue for our bar
- Vehicle access near the bar
In Fish Island, 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.
