Mexican bar hire near Lower Clapton

Should I do it myself?

For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.

Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

Organising for someone else?

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.

Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.

Step by step

When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we have agreed, planned around your event. A summer drinks reception in Lower Clapton has daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, ideal for drinks outdoors. By late September, sunset is about 7:05pm, and in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting around the bar.

  1. Send us your date, venue, numbers and drinks ideas.
  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 we set up the bar and our bar staff serve your guests.
  5. We pack away when the bar shuts and leave the area tidy.

Getting ready for the day

  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Find out what power and water are available
  • Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

FAQs for Lower Clapton

Can you bring your truck or trailer to Millfields 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.

We are having a ceremony at United Reformed Church: can you cater afterwards?

Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.

What happens if it rains?

The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.

What drinks do you serve?

Our bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata, plus alcohol-free choices.

Do you do margaritas?

Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll check the licensing with you.

What’s on the menu?

Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.

Do you provide bar staff?

Yes, our bar staff serve your guests. They serve responsibly.

Do you take everything away?

We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.

What affects the price in Lower Clapton

Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:

  • The number of people
  • Serving staff
  • Whether you add a drinks bar or food
  • Timings and hours

If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

  • Approximate guest numbers, including children
  • What power and water the site has
  • The venue or postcode
  • Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground

Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

Before you choose a spot

The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:

  • Somewhere to park and unload nearby
  • Space for guests to queue at the bar
  • Firm, level ground where we can set up

In Lower Clapton, 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 you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
