How our Mexican bar hire works in Lewisham
A Mexican drinks bar brings margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas to your event, served by our bar staff. It works on its own or alongside our food. For wedding receptions and evening parties and taco nights and themed parties, we can serve aguas frescas, soft drinks and margaritas for your guests.
For a drinks reception in Lewisham, a courtyard, forecourt or venue with vehicle access suits the truck or trailer. Let us know about parking, permits and any parking suspension. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Where the truck can go in Lewisham
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Firm, level ground where we can set up
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- Vehicle access near the bar
In Lewisham, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.

What happens on the day
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. In December, the light goes in Lewisham at about 3:55pm, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- We go through the licensing with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- We put together a drinks menu, with alcohol-free choices, and quote for it.
- On the day, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
- When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Let us know the timings for the day

Comparing your options
DIY drinks tables are easy but need constant topping up. Bar staff keep drinks flowing and cold. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
Why us?
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- Menus for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both

Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
