Mexican bar hire near Sanderstead
About our Mexican bar hire in Sanderstead
Serving alcohol at events needs a licence: either the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We’ll talk licensing through with you. It suits festivals and fairs and themed celebrations, with agua de jamaica, soft drinks and Mexican beer.
Around Sanderstead, a courtyard or forecourt the truck or trailer can reach is ideal. Let us know about parking, permits and any parking suspension. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Sanderstead: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Sanderstead?
Guests can use Riddlesdown station, about 0.8 miles west of Sanderstead.
What about parking in Sanderstead?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.
What drinks do you serve?
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, plus soft drinks. The drinks list is agreed with you.
Do you cater in Sanderstead?
We do. Sanderstead is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you provide bar staff?
We bring bar staff, and serve throughout the agreed hours.
Can you keep it mild?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
Planning the serving area
If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- The right licence for alcohol: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice
- Somewhere to park and unload nearby
- A flat, firm spot for the bar
Sanderstead is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
On the menu in Sanderstead
- Horchata
- Margaritas
- Fruit aguas frescas
- Mexican beer
- Soft drinks
- Agua de jamaica (hibiscus)
The process
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. A summer drinks reception in Sanderstead has daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. In late September it is dark around 7:05pm, and in December by about 3:55pm, so evening bars need lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- We talk through licensing with you, whether that’s the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- We suggest a drinks list and send a quote.
- On the day, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
- When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Give us a contact for the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
Getting a price
Still deciding on the menu? That is fine: give us the basics about your event, and we’ll suggest a menu. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning help
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- Food, drinks or both
- The menu you choose
- Timings and hours
- How many guests we are serving
Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
- Diets and allergies you know about
- What you’d like on the menu
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, use our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
