Planning drinks for every guest

A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:

  • Share taxi numbers with guests
  • Serve food alongside the drinks
  • Make sure there’s water for guests
  • Ask your venue about its licence early

When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.

Soft drinks for drivers.

Comparing your options

Non-drinkers often get only soft drinks. Aguas frescas give them something special. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

Questions from Forest Hill

Could you serve in Peckham Rye?

It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.

Which station should guests use for Forest Hill?

The closest is Honor Oak Park station, roughly 0.5 miles away.

Do you cover Forest Hill?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Forest Hill is within our area and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, fill in our quote form.

Do you have a licence to sell alcohol?

You’ll need either the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We’ll go through the licensing with you. GOV.UK explains Temporary Event Notices.

What if the weather’s bad?

Rain does not 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.

Can you do gluten-free food?

Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.

How spicy is the food?

That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.

How many guests can you serve?

Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.

DIY taco night versus a caterer

Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.

A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.

Historic buildings near Forest Hill often have strict rules for outside caterers, so ask early if that is your venue.

The process

When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. A summer drinks reception in Forest Hill has daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. By late September, sunset is about 7:05pm, and in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting around the bar.

  1. Send us the date, venue and numbers.
  2. We talk licensing through with you.
  3. You choose the drinks with us.
  4. Our bar staff serve your guests at the agreed times.
  5. We pack down when the bar closes.

Preparing for the day

  • Confirm numbers and diets before the day
  • Share the running order, including any speeches
  • Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat

What Mexican bar hire costs

We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:

  • Travel, parking and access
  • Whether you need disposables

Planners, venues and businesses

Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.

Where the truck can go in Forest Hill

We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:

  • A spot away from neighbours’ windows if the bar runs late
  • Vehicle access near the bar
  • The right licence for alcohol: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice

London streets around Forest Hill can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.
