How we price Mexican bar hire
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, parking and access
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Guest numbers
- Timings and hours
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.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- Your menu ideas
- What power and water the site has
- Any dietary needs and allergies

Questions from North Cray
Is it possible to have you in Foots Cray Meadows?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Parish Church of St James?
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. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.
How much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Do you bring staff to serve the drinks?
Our bar staff run the bar. They serve responsibly.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
What’s on the drinks menu?
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, plus soft drinks. The drinks list is agreed with you.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Planning the bar
Some planning tips for the drinks:
- Agree bar timings in advance
- Give the council notice in good time for a Temporary Event Notice
- Ask your venue about its licence early
- Pair the bar with hot food
Bar staff serve for the agreed times.
Pair the bar with tacos, burritos and nachos.
For event organisers in North Cray
Organising a club, school or community event in North Cray? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
What’s on the menu
Mexican beer
Mexican beer is light and refreshing.
Tamarind and fruit waters
A light drink for hot days.
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- The right licence for alcohol: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice
- A clear area in front of the bar
- Agreement from the venue for our bar
London streets around North Cray can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
