Mexican bar hire for your event in Highbury
Margaritas are the centrepiece: lime, tequila and orange liqueur, served cold. We serve aguas frescas, alcohol-free drinks and Mexican beer, and it is a good fit for themed celebrations and weddings, day or evening.
A Mexican drinks bar works well for receptions and parties in Highbury. As with any London event, parking and loading need planning, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. We’ll go through the licensing with you and your venue. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Highbury questions
What about parking in Highbury?
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.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Highbury Fields?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
