Old Malden questions
Is it possible to have you in Hogsmill LNR?
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 Old Malden from central London?
Roughly 11 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will recommend how to serve.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Is the food very hot?
That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Should I do it myself?
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.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.

- What’s on the menu
- Food, drinks or both
- Whether you need disposables
Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Details that help

Why choose Mexican bar hire in Old Malden?
A themed bar adds a talking point, more than a standard bar.
Here are some of the events we cater in Old Malden and Surrey:
- Client events and launches
- Taco nights and themed parties
- Work celebrations
- End-of-year and Christmas parties
Serving alcohol in Hogsmill LNR would need the owner’s permission and probably a licence, so a garden or venue is often simpler.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether VAT is included
- How many staff are serving, and for how long
- Any travel, parking or access charges
- Where to see their hygiene rating
Step by step
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. At midsummer, it’s light in Old Malden until about 9:20pm, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. In late September it is dark around 7:05pm, and in December by about 3:55pm, so evening bars need lighting.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We talk through licensing with you.
- We agree a drinks menu.
- Our bar staff serve your guests at the agreed times.
- We pack down when the bar closes.
How to prepare
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
Ask for a quote
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, tell us about it on our contact page.

Before you choose a spot
