Drinks bars for events in Shirley Oaks
Shirley Oaks is about 2 miles north-east of Croydon, in Greater London. Events in Shirley Oaks are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. Shirley Oaks is one of 764 places in Greater London where we can bring Mexican bar hire. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Shirley Oaks to London (about 8 miles away).
Anyone leaving the car at home will want to know that the nearest station is Elmers End station, about 1.2 miles north. Serving alcohol in Ashburton Park would need the owner’s permission and probably a licence, so a garden or venue is often simpler.

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.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
The process
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a photo of the space if you’re unsure. A late-September party in Shirley Oaks loses the light at about 7:05pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:50pm.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We talk through licensing with you.
- We agree a drinks menu.
- Our bar staff serve your guests at the agreed times.
- We clear the bar at the end.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Share the running order, including any speeches

Your questions about Mexican bar hire in Shirley Oaks
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Ashburton Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Is parking a problem for events in Shirley Oaks?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you cater in Shirley Oaks?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Shirley Oaks. For a quote, tell us about it on our contact page.
Can you come to a private house?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
What access do you need?
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. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Do you check ages at the bar?
Yes. No alcohol is served to under-18s, and we may refuse service to anyone who has had too much.
Before you choose a spot
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- A flat, firm spot for the bar
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- Space for guests to queue at the bar
Shirley Oaks 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 you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How we price Mexican bar hire
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Guest numbers
- Whether you need disposables
- The length of service
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican bar hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
