DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Planning the serving area
If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Agreement from the venue for our bar
- Somewhere to park and unload nearby
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
On the menu in Halfway
- Horchata
- Soft drinks

Your questions about Mexican bar hire in Halfway
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Hamstead Marshall Park?
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.
Do you come out to small places like Halfway?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will plan the menu around them.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will talk it through.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
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 give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
How much does the drinks bar cost?
We don’t publish set prices, because every event is different. Send your details for a quote.
