Is Mexican bar hire right for your event?
A standard bar is fine, but a Mexican bar with margaritas and aguas frescas feels like part of the theme. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican bar hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

FAQs for Isle of Dogs
Could you serve in Mudchute Park and Farm?
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.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
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.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll recommend how to serve.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Do you check ages at the bar?
Yes. Under-18s are not served alcohol, and we may refuse service to anyone who has had too much.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. Sunset in Isle of Dogs is around 9:20pm in June, so a summer drinks bar can run into the evening in daylight. String lights or lanterns near the hatch make a later bar easier to find.
- We check availability.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want service to start

How to get a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
Planning help
Planning the serving area
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- Room for a queue
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- Vehicle access near the bar
As a London location, Isle of Dogs is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
