How our Mexican bar hire works in Hornsey
Cold Mexican lagers come with lime on the side, and it pairs well with tacos. At festivals and fairs and end-of-year parties, we will put together a menu of soft drinks, aguas frescas and Mexican beer and more.
In Hornsey, a drinks bar suits courtyard receptions, office parties and evening events. Parking and loading need planning, as with any London event, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. We’ll go through the licensing with you and your venue. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Hornsey questions
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Priory 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’ll send what they need from us.
What’s the nearest station to Hornsey for guests?
Hornsey has its own station: Hornsey station.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
How spicy is the food?
That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Do you follow the rules on serving alcohol?
Responsible serving comes first: under-18s get alcohol-free drinks only, with water and alcohol-free choices on hand.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
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. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Step by step
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we have agreed, planned around your event. A late-September party in Hornsey loses the light at about 7:05pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:55pm.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
- You get a suggested drinks menu and a quote.
- On the day we set up the bar and our bar staff serve your guests.
- After service, we clear the bar away.
Preparing for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Share the running order, including any speeches
