Ockham: your questions answered
Can you bring your truck or trailer to The Forest and the Highlands?
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.
How far is Ockham from central London?
About 21 miles from central London.
What drinks do you serve?
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, plus soft drinks. We plan the list with you.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.

Working with your venue

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
What Mexican bar hire costs
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Guest numbers
- What the venue already provides
- Serving staff
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- The date and rough timings
- The address or venue name
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Expected numbers
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just use our quote form.
Tips for a smooth bar
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Give the council notice in good time for a Temporary Event Notice
- Share taxi numbers with guests
- Ask your venue about its licence early
- Plan water alongside the bar
We arrive in good time to set up the bar.
Soft drinks for drivers.
Should I do it myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
The process
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule. By late September, sunset in Ockham comes at roughly 7:05pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:55pm.
- We check availability.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
