Mexican bar hire for Paddington events
Mexican bar hire in Paddington, served fresh
The margarita is the star of the bar: lime, tequila and orange liqueur, served cold, with or without a salted rim. For winter celebrations and festivals and fairs, we can serve aguas frescas, soft drinks and agua de jamaica for your guests.
A Mexican drinks bar works well for receptions and parties in Paddington. 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 will go through the licensing with you and your venue. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

For event organisers in Paddington
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Paddington: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St John the Evangelist?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Could you serve in Royal Parks of London?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Do you provide bar staff?
Our bar staff run the bar. Responsible serving comes first.
Are plates and napkins included?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Paddington.
Do you have a licence to sell alcohol?
Alcohol at an event needs the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We will check the licensing with you. See GOV.UK for Temporary Event Notices.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll suggest mild options.
Before you choose a spot
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- A clear area in front of the bar
- Firm, level ground where we can set up
- A bar spot away from homes
London streets around Paddington can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
On the menu in Paddington
- Soft drinks
- Fruit aguas frescas
- Mexican beer
- Agua de jamaica (hibiscus)

How it works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. At midsummer, it is light in Paddington until about 9:20pm, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. By late September, sunset is about 7:05pm, and in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting around the bar.
- We check availability.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
How to prepare
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
