Mexican bar hire for Lissenden Gardens events
Lissenden Gardens: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Lissenden Gardens for guests?
Gospel Oak station, in Lissenden Gardens itself.
What about parking in Lissenden Gardens?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
Can we have the bar on its own?
You can. Book the bar on its own, or with our Mexican catering.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Mexican bar hire in Lissenden Gardens, from our food truck or trailer
Serving alcohol at events needs a licence: either the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We’ll check the licensing with you. At garden get-togethers and taco nights and themed parties, we can serve horchata, aguas frescas and alcohol-free drinks.
In Lissenden Gardens, a drinks bar suits courtyard receptions, office parties and evening events. Parking and loading need planning, as with any London event. We will talk licensing through with you and your venue. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer.

How we price Mexican bar hire
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- The menu you choose
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- How many staff you need
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The address or venue name
- What you’d like on the menu
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, send a quick message through our quote form.
Should I do it myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Events we cater in Lissenden Gardens
Alcohol-free guests get more than squash.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Typical bookings include:

What happens on the day
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. Sunset in Lissenden Gardens is around 9:20pm in June, which suits an outdoor bar. String lights or lanterns near the hatch make a later bar easier to find.

- We talk licensing through with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- You get a suggested drinks menu and a quote.
- On the day we set up the bar and our bar staff serve your guests.

Planning the serving area
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Space for guests to queue at the bar
- Vehicle access near the bar
- A spot away from neighbours’ windows if the bar runs late
In Lissenden Gardens, 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.
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
