Mexican bar hire in Royal Docks, from our food truck or trailer
A Mexican drinks bar brings margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas to your event, served by our bar staff. It works on its own or alongside our food. On the menu are aguas frescas, agua de jamaica and soft drinks, and it suits end-of-year parties and summer garden parties.
A Mexican drinks bar works well for receptions and parties in Royal Docks. Parking and loading need planning, as with any London event. We’ll talk licensing through with you and your venue. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Planning a drinks bar in Royal Docks
Royal Docks is about 1 mile south-east of Canning Town, in Greater London. Whether your event is in the middle of Royal Docks or on the outskirts, Mexican bar hire works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Royal Docks is one of 764 places in Greater London where we can bring Mexican bar hire. We cater right across the region, from Royal Docks to London (about 6 miles away).
Serving alcohol in Beckton District Park would need the owner’s permission and probably a licence, so a garden or venue is often simpler. If the service is at a church such as Church of the Ascension, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church.
For Mexican bar hire in E16 and E6, we plan around your venue and the route in and timings. Streets in the area include Drew Road, Leyes Road and Camel Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Royal Docks sits on or near the A1020, so getting the truck or trailer to your event is simple. Nearby, we also cater events in Custom House (1 mile west), Silvertown (1 mile south-west), North Woolwich (1 mile south-east), West Silvertown (1 mile west) and Canning Town (1 mile north-west). Within a short drive, we also cover London (6 miles west), City of Westminster (8 miles west), Marylebone (8 miles west), Kensington (11 miles west), St Pancras (7 miles west) and Shoreditch (5 miles west).
Nearby you’ll also find Greenwich Castle (2.8 miles south-west) and Gallions Reach Shopping Park (1.6 miles east). The countryside around Royal Docks includes Gilbert's Pit.
- Nearby schools include Royal Docks Academy (less than half a mile north-west) and The Royal Docks Community School (less than half a mile north-west)
- Nearby, you’ll find The Connaught Tavern (less than half a mile north-west)
- Other local spots include East Ham (1.9 miles north)
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Organising a club, school or community event in Royal Docks? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
The process
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests. Evening drinks in Royal Docks stay light until about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, which suits an outdoor bar. String lights or lanterns near the hatch make a later bar easier to find.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
- We go through the licensing with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- We put together a drinks menu, with alcohol-free choices, and quote for it.
- We arrive, set up and serve margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
- We pack away when the bar shuts and leave the area tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

Every event is quoted individually, based on what you need. To ask for one, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

Before you choose a spot
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:

London streets around Royal Docks can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

- Agua de jamaica (hibiscus)

What Mexican bar hire costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- What’s on the menu
- How many guests we’re serving
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Distance and access to the venue
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- The date and time of the event
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll suggest a menu. To start, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

Royal Docks questions
What about parking in Royal Docks?
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.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of the Ascension?
Yes. The church itself is not 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.
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Do you check ages at the bar?
Our bar staff serve responsibly: alcohol-free drinks for under-18s, and we offer water and alcohol-free choices throughout.
What drinks do you serve?
Our bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata.
Do you have alcohol-free drinks?
There are always alcohol-free options, from aguas frescas to soft drinks.
How much does Mexican bar hire cost in Royal Docks?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a quote.
How much is the bar?
Every bar is quoted for individually, based on numbers, drinks and hours. Contact us for a quote.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
