About our Mexican bar hire in Forestdale
Soft drinks and alcohol-free choices are always part of the bar, so drivers and non-drinkers aren’t left with tap water. At winter celebrations and milestone birthdays, we can serve aguas frescas, alcohol-free drinks and soft drinks for your guests.
A Mexican drinks bar works well for receptions and parties in Forestdale. As with any London event, parking and loading need planning. We will talk licensing through with you and your venue. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

What Mexican bar hire costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The number of people
- How long we’re needed on site
- What’s on the menu
- Staff for serving and the bar
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- The date and rough timings
- Expected numbers
- What you’d like on the menu
- What power and water the site has
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, send a quick message through our quote form.
Forestdale: your questions answered
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Francis?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Is it possible to have you in Addington Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you bring staff to serve the drinks?
Bar staff are part of the service, and serve throughout the agreed hours.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
How much does the drinks bar cost?
We don’t publish set prices, as each event is different. Tell us your plans for a quote.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
How it works
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. A late-September party in Forestdale loses the light at about 7:05pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:50pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- We tidy up at the end.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
How to get a price
To get a price, just drop us a line using the enquiry form. Give us the details of your event, and we will put together a menu and price.

Where the truck can go in Forestdale
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice in place
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- A clear area in front of the bar
Forestdale is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
On the menu in Forestdale
- Soft drinks
- Horchata
- Agua de jamaica (hibiscus)
- Margaritas
- Fruit aguas frescas
- Mexican beer
Occasions we cater for in Forestdale
It works on its own or with our food.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Typical bookings include:
- Engagement celebrations
- Themed celebrations
- Summer garden parties
- Weddings, day or evening
A gathering in Addington Park? Check the park’s rules first, as alcohol and vehicles typically need permission.
What your quote should include
- The caterer’s food hygiene rating
- Plates and napkins, or nothing at all
- If the price includes VAT
- Staff numbers and hours
Is Mexican bar hire right for your event?
Bring-your-own is simple but uneven. A staffed bar means everyone is served. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
