A Mexican drinks bar works well for receptions and parties in Ratcliff. As with any London event, parking and loading need planning, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. We’ll go through the licensing with you and your venue. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Planning drinks for every guest

Tell us what glassware you need and we’ll confirm the options with your quote.
For event organisers in Ratcliff
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Planning the serving area
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- A clear area in front of the bar
- Agreement from the venue for our bar
- The right licence for alcohol: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice
In Ratcliff, 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.

Guests can use Limehouse station, which is right in Ratcliff.
