How the day works

Sunset in Parkgate is around 9:20pm in June, so a summer drinks bar can run into the evening in daylight. For a bar running past dusk, ask the venue about outdoor lighting.

What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A bar spot away from homes
- Space for guests to queue at the bar
- Somewhere to park and unload nearby
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- Fruit aguas frescas
- Margaritas
- Agua de jamaica (hibiscus)
- Soft drinks
- Mexican beer
- Horchata
How we price Mexican bar hire
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- The number of people
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Serving staff
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Where the event is
- What power and water the site has
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your event in Parkgate, and we’ll suggest a menu to suit.

How far is Parkgate from London?

Do you do a 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.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Do you have a licence to sell alcohol?
That depends on your venue. Some venues have a premises licence; others need a Temporary Event Notice. We will go through the licensing with you.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.

Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
