Oval: your questions answered
We’re having a ceremony at Calvary Church of God in Christ: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Is parking a problem for events in Oval?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Do you cover Oval?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Oval. To check your date, use our quote form.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Do you have a licence to sell alcohol?
Alcohol at an event needs the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We’ll go through the licensing with you. See GOV.UK for Temporary Event Notices.
Mexican bar hire for your event in Oval
Aguas frescas are light, fruity drinks: hibiscus agua de jamaica, horchata, tamarind and fruit waters. They’re a good alcohol-free choice for everyone. Popular choices include agua de jamaica, soft drinks and Mexican beer, which works well for staff parties and licensed festivals.
In Oval, a drinks bar suits courtyard receptions, office parties and evening events. Parking and loading need planning, as with any London event, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. If alcohol is being served, we will talk licensing through with you and your venue. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Planning the serving area
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A flat, firm spot for the bar
- Space for guests to queue at the bar
- Licensing checked with you before the day
In Oval, 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.

How the day works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A picture of the space helps. By late September, sunset in Oval comes at roughly 7:05pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. In late May, it stays light until about 8:50pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
- We check the licensing with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- We suggest a drinks list and send a quote.
- On the day, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
- We pack away when the bar shuts and leave the area tidy.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer

Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
