Mexican bar hire for your event in Rotherhithe
Mexican beer is served cold, with a wedge of lime if guests like, and it pairs well with tacos. It works well for birthday parties and work celebrations, serving agua de jamaica, soft drinks and alcohol-free drinks.
For a drinks reception in Rotherhithe, a courtyard, forecourt or venue with vehicle access suits the truck or trailer. Let us know about parking, permits and any parking suspension. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

The process
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. A late-September party in Rotherhithe loses the light at about 7:05pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. In late May, it stays light until about 8:50pm.
- First, we check your date.
- 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
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer

Rotherhithe: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for events in Rotherhithe?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Holy Trinity Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Do you do drinks only?
Of course. Ask about adding tacos and burritos.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Will someone run the bar?
We bring bar staff, and serve throughout the agreed hours.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you follow the rules on serving alcohol?
Our bar staff serve responsibly: under-18s get alcohol-free drinks only, and we offer water and alcohol-free choices throughout.

Planning drinks for every guest
Some planning tips for the drinks:

There are always alcohol-free options.
Margaritas for the drinks reception, licensing permitting.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
- Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
