How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. In December, the light goes in Portfield at about 4:00pm, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. Midsummer is the opposite, with daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We go through the licensing with you.
- You choose the drinks with us.
- We serve drinks responsibly on the day.
- We pack down when the bar closes.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

How we price Mexican bar hire
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Whether you need disposables
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Timings and hours
- Serving staff
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- The date and rough timings
- What power and water the site has
- The venue or postcode
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you’ll get menu ideas and a price. To get started, fill in our quote form.
Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
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 dishes for guests with allergies.
Portfield questions
Do you cater at coastal events near Portfield?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots generally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
How far is Portfield from London?
It’s about 54 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Do you cook on site?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do you have alcohol-free drinks?
Yes. Aguas frescas and soft drinks are alcohol-free.
Planning the bar
A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:
- Share taxi numbers with guests
- Serve food alongside the drinks
- Plan alcohol-free drinks for drivers
- Give us numbers for children
Responsible serving comes first: no alcohol for under-18s, and we may refuse service to anyone who has had too much.
Alcohol-free aguas frescas for all ages.

Comparing your options
Bring-your-own is simple but uneven. A bar gives every guest a drink in hand. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
