About our Mexican bar hire in River

In River, a drinks bar works at home or in a local hall. Alcohol-free drinks such as aguas frescas can be part of the menu. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer.

River questions
How far is River from central London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Old Park Hill?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we’ll talk it through.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Do you check ages at the bar?
Our bar staff serve responsibly: alcohol-free drinks for under-18s, with water and alcohol-free choices on hand.
Do you bring staff to serve the drinks?
We bring bar staff, and serve throughout the agreed hours.

What affects the price in River
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Travel, parking and access
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- A picture of where we’d park
- The date and time of the event
- What you’d like on the menu
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we’ll make suggestions. To start, use our quote form.
What happens on the day
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A picture of the space helps. Sunset in River is around 9:15pm in June, so a summer drinks bar can run into the evening in daylight. String lights or lanterns near the hatch make a later bar easier to find.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- We talk through licensing with you, whether that is the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- We put together a drinks menu, with alcohol-free choices, and quote for it.
- On the day, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
- After service, we clear the bar away.
How to prepare
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

DIY taco night or a caterer?
