Drinks planning tips

Some planning tips for the drinks:

  • Find out if you need a Temporary Event Notice
  • Make sure drivers have good choices
  • Share taxi numbers with guests
  • Allow time for a Temporary Event Notice if one is needed

Responsible serving comes first: under-18s aren’t served alcohol, and nor is anyone who has had too much.

Aguas frescas for children and non-drinkers.

The process

A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. At midsummer, it’s light in Friern Barnet until about 9:20pm, ideal for drinks outdoors. By late September, sunset is about 7:05pm, and in December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting around the bar.

  1. Send us the date, venue and numbers.
  2. We talk through licensing with you.
  3. You choose the drinks with us.
  4. We serve drinks responsibly on the day.
  5. We clear the bar at the end.

Getting ready for the day

  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
  • Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer

Getting a price

We quote for each event separately, based on what you need. To ask for one, send a quick message through our quote form.

How we price Mexican bar hire

Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:

  • Plates, napkins and cutlery
  • How long we’re needed on site
  • What’s on the menu
  • Travel, parking and access

Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Getting an accurate quote

You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:

  • A picture of where we’d park
  • Where the event is
  • Roughly how many adults and children
  • How we drive in and where we can park

Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.

Friern Barnet questions

Can you cater a reception after a service at St John's Church?

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 will check the access.

Where would you park in Friern Barnet?

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.

How much space do you need?

The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.

Can you serve in the rain?

We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.

What does a Mexican bar cost?

Every bar is quoted for individually, depending on guests, drinks and timings. For a price, tell us about it on our contact page.

Can you plan for allergies?

Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide 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 provide drinks?

Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.

Do you provide bar staff?

We bring bar staff.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
