Mexican bar hire for New Barnet events
The process
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. At midsummer, it’s light in New Barnet until about 9:20pm, ideal for drinks outdoors. By late September, sunset is about 7:05pm, and in December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting around the bar.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
- We suggest a drinks list and send a quote.
- We arrive, set up and serve margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
- When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Ask the venue about power and water
Ask for a quote
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, send a quick message through our quote form.

Mexican bar hire in New Barnet, served fresh
Pair the bar with our Mexican catering for tacos, burritos and nachos, so you deal with one team. For summer garden parties and engagement celebrations, we will put together a menu of soft drinks, agua de jamaica and alcohol-free drinks and more.
A Mexican drinks bar works well for receptions and parties in New Barnet. Parking and loading need planning, as with any London event, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. We’ll check the licensing with you and your venue. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Space, access and the venue
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Licensing checked with you before the day
- Firm, level ground where we can set up
- Agreement from the venue for our bar
In New Barnet, 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 will tell you honestly.

New Barnet: venues, access and licensing
New Barnet is about 1 mile east of Barnet, in Greater London. Whether your event is in the middle of New Barnet or on the outskirts, Mexican bar hire works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. New Barnet is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we can bring Mexican bar hire. We cater right across the region, from New Barnet to London (about 11 miles away).
Once the ceremony at a church like Holy Trinity Lyonsdown is over, guests may be glad of a cold drink at the reception venue. Serving alcohol in Victoria Recreation Ground would need the owner’s permission and probably a licence, so a garden or venue is often simpler.
Wherever your event is in EN5, EN4 and N20, we can bring Mexican bar hire to you. Whether your event is on York Road, Park Road and Henry Road or anywhere nearby, we can bring Mexican bar hire there, given access. Nearby, we also cater events in Barnet (1 mile west), Cockfosters (1 mile north-east), East Barnet (1 mile south-east), Underhill (1 mile west) and Whetstone (1 mile south). Larger places within reach include London (11 miles south), City of Westminster (9 miles south), Marylebone (9 miles south), Kensington (10 miles south), St Pancras (8 miles south) and Shoreditch (9 miles south-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Francis Skaryna Belarusian Library and Museum (2 miles south) and East Barnet Urban District (less than half a mile east). Green spaces nearby include Greenhill Gardens and Darland's Lake.
- Schools near New Barnet include East Barnet School (0.7 miles east) and Trent School Cockfosters (0.9 miles north-east)
- Local pubs include The Alexandra pub (less than half a mile north-east)
Drinks planning tips
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:

Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Working with your venue
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Questions from New Barnet
Can you cater a reception after a service at Holy Trinity Lyonsdown?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Could you serve in Victoria Recreation Ground?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Can we book the bar without food?
Of course. Ask about adding tacos and burritos.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
