Mexican bar hire in Notting Dale, served fresh

Aguas frescas are light, fruity drinks: hibiscus agua de jamaica, horchata, tamarind and fruit waters. They’re a good alcohol-free choice for everyone. It suits garden parties and wedding drinks receptions, with agua de jamaica, margaritas and horchata.

Around Notting Dale, a courtyard or forecourt the truck or trailer can reach is ideal. Tell us about narrow streets, permit bays or a parking suspension. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

DIY taco night versus a caterer

A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.

Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

Working with your venue

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.

For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.

How we price Mexican bar hire

Contact us for a quote, which reflects:

  • How many guests we’re serving
  • Whether you need disposables
  • Travel, parking and access
  • Food, drinks or both

Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.

What to tell us

You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:

  • Expected numbers
  • A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
  • How we drive in and where we can park
  • What you’d like on the menu

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.

Is Mexican bar hire right for your event?

With tacos on the menu, margaritas and Mexican beer fit perfectly. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.

Why us?

  • Allergen information for every dish
  • A plan agreed before the day
  • Events in Notting Dale and across Greater London
  • Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both

See our pricing or what Mexican catering costs.

How the day works

We work to your timings. If things run behind, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. Sunset in Notting Dale is around 9:20pm in June, so a summer drinks bar can run into the evening in daylight. For a bar running past dusk, ask the venue about outdoor lighting.

  1. First, we check your date.
  2. You get a suggested drinks list.
  3. We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
  4. We set up and serve on cue.
  5. We tidy up at the end.

Getting ready for the day

  • Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
  • Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day

How to get a price

Still deciding on the menu? That is fine: give us the basics about your event, and we’ll make suggestions. To start, fill in our quote form.

Your questions about Mexican bar hire in Notting Dale

Is parking a problem for events in Notting Dale?

It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.

We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Sava: can you cater afterwards?

Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.

Do you clear up afterwards?

Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.

Can you do dairy-free food?

We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.

Which areas do you serve?

London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.

How much space do you need?

Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.

How is the food prepared?

We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.

Are plates and napkins included?

Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.

Space, access and the venue

Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:

  • A bar spot away from homes
  • Level, firm ground for the bar set-up
  • Access to unload close to the bar spot

In Notting Dale, 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.
