How it compares
A self-service drinks table is simple but can run dry or go warm. A staffed bar keeps everything under control. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

Planners, venues and businesses
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Houghton Green? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. 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 will do the serving.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Why choose Mexican bar hire in Houghton Green?
It suits summer evenings especially well.
Whatever the occasion, the serving truck can be a highlight. We are happy to cater:
- Weddings, day or evening
- Festivals and fairs
- Garden get-togethers
- Client events and launches
Once the ceremony at a church like The Parish Church of St Michael is over, guests may be glad of a cold drink at the reception venue.
Questions to ask before you book
