Mexican bar hire in Orpington, from our truck or trailer
Soft drinks and alcohol-free choices are always part of the bar, so drivers and non-drinkers aren’t left with tap water. At garden get-togethers and launch parties, we can serve soft drinks, agua de jamaica and margaritas.
In Orpington, a drinks bar suits courtyard receptions, office parties and evening events. 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’ll check the licensing with you and your venue. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
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.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- The number of people
- How many staff you need
- Your choice of food and drinks
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Where the event is
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
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.
Planning the serving area
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A clear area in front of the bar
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- Licensing checked with you before the day
In Orpington, 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.
What we offer
- Horchata
- Soft drinks
- Mexican beer
- Fruit aguas frescas
- Agua de jamaica (hibiscus)
- Margaritas
Orpington: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Andrew's?
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. Send us the reception address.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Jubilee Country 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.
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.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we will recommend how to serve.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.
Step by step
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. A late-September party in Orpington loses the light at about 7:05pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. In late May, it stays light until about 8:50pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We tidy up at the end.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
