How our Mexican bar hire works in Newington
There are always alcohol-free drinks on the bar, for drivers, children and anyone not drinking. It works well for client events and launches and anniversaries and engagements, serving Mexican beer, alcohol-free drinks and horchata.
In a rural spot like Newington, drinks can be served from our food truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, given access. We’ll go through the licensing with you. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Planning the serving area
We will be honest if a space will not work, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- A clear area in front of the bar
- The venue’s permission for an outside bar
- The right licence for alcohol: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

We cater across London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
Do you do a taco bar?

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
