Before you choose a spot

- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

How our Mexican bar hire works in Sheldwich Lees
Margaritas are the centrepiece: tequila, lime and orange liqueur over ice. Popular choices include agua de jamaica, horchata and margaritas, and it’s a good fit for birthday parties and weddings, day or evening.
In a rural spot like Sheldwich Lees, drinks can be served from our food truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, given access. We’ll go through the licensing with you. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
How it compares
Leaving guests to bring their own is easy but unpredictable. A bar gives every guest a drink in hand, including non-drinkers. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.
Why us?
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Allergen-aware menus
- Menus for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- A plan agreed before the day
