Comparing your options
Bring-your-own is simple but uneven. A staffed bar means everyone is served, including non-drinkers. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. A late-September party in Newington loses the light at about 7:00pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. In late May, it stays light until about 8:50pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We talk through licensing with you.
- We agree a drinks menu.
- Our bar staff serve your guests at the agreed times.
- We clear the bar at the end.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Newington: your questions answered
How far is Newington from central London?
It is about 34 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can you do dairy-free food?
We can. We offer dairy-free options, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
Do you do drinks only?
Yes. The bar can be booked on its own, or with our Mexican catering.
Who handles the licensing?
Alcohol at an event needs the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We go through the licensing with you before the day. GOV.UK explains Temporary Event Notices.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we will go through the licensing with you and your venue.
For event organisers in Newington
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Before you choose a spot
If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- The right licence for alcohol: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice
- Access to unload close to the bar spot
- Details of power and water on site
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
