Planning an event in North Finchley?
Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
How our Mexican bar hire works in North Finchley
Serving alcohol at events needs a licence: a premises licence at the venue, or a Temporary Event Notice. We talk licensing through with you before the day. It suits client events and launches and fairs and community events, with soft drinks, aguas frescas and margaritas.
A Mexican drinks bar works well for receptions and parties in North Finchley. As with any London event, parking and loading need planning, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. If alcohol is being served, we will go through the licensing with you and your venue. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

What we need at the venue
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Details of power and water on site
- Space for guests to queue at the bar
- Vehicle access near the bar
In North Finchley, 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
What we offer
- Fruit aguas frescas
- Margaritas
- Mexican beer
- Horchata
- Soft drinks
- Agua de jamaica (hibiscus)
Planning a drinks bar in North Finchley

Serving alcohol in Friary Park would need the owner’s permission and probably a licence, so a garden or venue is often simpler. Historic buildings near North Finchley often have strict rules for outside caterers, so ask early if that’s your venue.
We cater events across the N12, N20 and N11 postcode area and the streets around it. We can cater an event on streets such as High Road, Lodge Lane and Percy Road or the roads around them.

Working with your venue
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
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.
The process
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. Winter receptions in North Finchley are dark by about 3:55pm in December, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. Midsummer is the opposite, with daylight until about 9:20pm.
- First, we check your date.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
How to prepare
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
Ask for a quote
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just fill in our quote form.
