Step by step
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our food truck or trailer, and get on with serving. A summer drinks reception in Locksbottom has daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. By late September, sunset is about 7:05pm, and in December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting around the bar.

We cater in 764 places in Greater London. We cater right across the region, from Locksbottom to London (11 miles away).

Locksbottom: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for Locksbottom?
The closest is Orpington station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Where would you park in Locksbottom?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
Do you bring staff to serve the drinks?
Yes, our bar staff serve your guests. They serve responsibly.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Who handles the licensing?
You’ll need either the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We go through the licensing with you before the day. See GOV.UK for Temporary Event Notices.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Why choose Mexican bar hire in Locksbottom?
Non-drinkers often get only soft drinks. Our aguas frescas are made for them. 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.
