Mexican bar hire in Northam
Mexican bar hire in Northam, from our food truck or trailer
Serving alcohol at events needs a licence: a premises licence at the venue, or a Temporary Event Notice. We check the licensing with you before the day. On the menu are margaritas, agua de jamaica and aguas frescas, and it is a good fit for mexican-themed parties and weddings, day or evening.
For a party in a place like Northam, a drinks bar is easy and sociable. Tell us about the drive, gates and power. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

About the menu
Agua de jamaica
A deep red hibiscus drink, served chilled.
Tamarind and fruit waters
Fruit waters are a fresh alcohol-free option.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. 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’ll do the serving.
Where the truck can go in Northam
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A spot away from neighbours’ windows if the bar runs late
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Licensing checked with you before the day
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Northam: your questions answered
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Augustine: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Could you serve in East Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
What drinks do you serve?
Our bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata.
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.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, including Southampton. Find your area.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Can you do dairy-free food?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
For event organisers in Northam
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

How it works
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Evening drinks in Northam stay light until about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so a summer drinks bar can run into the evening in daylight. String lights or lanterns near the hatch make a later bar easier to find.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We check the licensing with you.
- You choose the drinks with us.
- Our bar staff serve your guests at the agreed times.
- We pack down when the bar closes.
