Mexican bar hire for Kensal Rise events

Mexican bar hire for your event in Kensal Rise

Aguas frescas are light, fruity drinks: hibiscus agua de jamaica, horchata, tamarind and fruit waters. They’re a good alcohol-free choice for everyone. For garden get-togethers and themed celebrations, we will put together a menu of agua de jamaica, soft drinks and aguas frescas.

In Kensal Rise, a drinks bar suits courtyard receptions, office parties and evening events. As with any London event, parking and loading need planning, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. If alcohol is being served, we’ll check the licensing with you and your venue. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

Why choose Mexican bar hire in Kensal Rise?

DIY drinks tables are easy but need constant topping up. Bar staff keep drinks flowing and cold. 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.

Why book with us

  • Book food, drinks or both
  • Catering across Greater London, including Kensal Rise
  • Set-up planned with you and your venue
  • Quick, friendly service from the hatch

See our prices page or our guide to catering costs.

Before you choose a spot

If a space is not suitable, we will tell you. The main points are:

  • The right licence for alcohol: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice
  • Access to unload close to the bar spot
  • Firm, level ground where we can set up

As a London location, Kensal Rise is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

Why choose Mexican bar hire in Kensal Rise?

Tacos and margaritas belong together, so the bar suits a Mexican menu.

Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Common bookings include:

  • Garden parties
  • Company summer parties
  • Mexican-themed parties
  • Engagement celebrations

Serving alcohol in Queen’s Park would need the owner’s permission and probably a licence, so a garden or venue is often simpler.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Staff numbers and hours
  • Space, access, power and water needs
  • The caterer’s food hygiene rating
  • What happens if it rains

Choosing a Mexican caterer

The process

We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a picture of the space if you are unsure. Sunset in Kensal Rise is around 9:20pm in June, so a summer drinks bar can run into the evening in daylight. For a bar running past dusk, ask the venue about outdoor lighting.

  1. You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
  2. Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
  3. We suggest a drinks list and send a quote.
  4. We arrive, set up and serve margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
  5. We pack away when the bar shuts and leave the area tidy.

Before we arrive

  • Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
  • Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
  • Tell us what power and water the site has

Ask for a quote

Send us the date, your venue or W10 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.

Prices and what affects them

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • The menu you choose
  • The number of people
  • Whether you add a drinks bar or food
  • The length of service

Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.

Getting an accurate quote

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:

  • Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
  • Approximate guest numbers, including children
  • The date and rough timings
  • A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field

Every event is quoted individually, based on what you need. To ask for one, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

Kensal Rise: your questions answered

Can you bring your truck or trailer to Queen’s 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 Kensal Rise for guests?

Kensal Rise station, in Kensal Rise itself.

Do you have dairy-free options?

Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll plan the menu around them.

Will someone run the bar?

We bring bar staff, and serve throughout the agreed hours.

What about power on site?

It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.

Do you have gluten-free options?

We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.

How long are you on site?

That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.

Can children have drinks from the bar?

Every bar has alcohol-free choices, from aguas frescas to soft drinks.

DIY taco night versus a caterer

You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.

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 enjoy the party, let us serve.

Planners, venues and businesses

Organising a club, school or community event in Kensal Rise? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.

Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we will let you know if it’s a good fit.
