DIY taco night or a caterer?

Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

What Mexican bar hire costs

These are the factors that matter most:

  • The length of service
  • Serving staff
  • Food, drinks or both
  • What the venue already provides

Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.

What we need to know

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:

  • Diets and allergies you know about
  • What power and water the site has
  • The date and rough timings
  • What you’d like on the menu

Not sure what you need yet? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we’ll suggest a menu. When you are ready, send a quick message through our quote form.

Why choose Mexican bar hire in Ladywell?

Leaving guests to bring their own is easy but unpredictable. A bar gives every guest a drink in hand. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.

What we offer in Ladywell

  • Allergen information for every dish
  • Everything served fresh from the hatch
  • A menu built around your guests
  • Fast service, even with a queue

See how we price and the cost guide.

Planning the serving area

No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:

  • Level, firm ground for the bar set-up
  • A clear area in front of the bar
  • Somewhere to park and unload nearby

London streets around Ladywell can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.

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

Menu ideas

  • Horchata
  • Mexican beer
  • Soft drinks
  • Fruit aguas frescas
  • Margaritas
  • Agua de jamaica (hibiscus)

How it works

The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure. In December, the light goes in Ladywell at about 3:55pm, so plan where guests will gather, and how it will be lit. Midsummer is the opposite, with daylight until about 9:20pm.

  1. You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
  2. We go through the licensing with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
  3. We suggest a drinks list and send a quote.
  4. On the day, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
  5. We pack away when the bar shuts and leave the area tidy.

Preparing for the day

  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
  • Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer

How to get a price

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just drop us a line using the enquiry form.

Planning help

Planners, venues and businesses

If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.

Ladywell questions

Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?

Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.

Is it possible to have you in Ladywell Fields?

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 will send what they need from us.

How spicy is the food?

The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.

How much is the bar?

We quote for each event, depending on guests, drinks and timings. Contact us for a quote.

Do you follow the rules on serving alcohol?

Always. No alcohol is served to under-18s, and anyone who has had too much will not be served more.

When should we book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.

Do you provide plates and napkins?

That’s confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.

What access do you need?

Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.

Perfect for your event in Ladywell

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

A truck or trailer suits almost any gathering. In Ladywell, you could book us for occasions like:

  • Launch parties
  • Garden get-togethers
  • Engagement and anniversary parties
  • End-of-year parties

A drinks bar at a garden or hall near a church like Church of St Mary the Virgin gives guests something to enjoy while photos are taken.

Before booking anyone

  • When final numbers are due
  • How many staff are serving, and for how long
  • Exactly what’s included in the price
  • Plates and napkins, or nothing at all

Questions to ask before you book

Drinks planning tips

To get the most from the bar, it helps to:

  • Find out if you need a Temporary Event Notice
  • Include aguas frescas for non-drinkers
  • Check allergies with guests, including for drinks

Responsible serving comes first: no alcohol for under-18s, and we may refuse service to anyone who has had too much.

Pair the bar with tacos, burritos and nachos.

  • Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
  • Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
