Mexican bar hire for your event in Sidcup

Aguas frescas are light, fruity drinks: agua de jamaica made with hibiscus, horchata, tamarind and fruit waters. They’re alcohol-free, so every guest can enjoy them. We serve aguas frescas, margaritas and Mexican beer, and it suits staff parties and themed celebrations.

In Sidcup, a drinks bar suits courtyard receptions, office parties and evening events. Parking and loading need planning, as with any London event. If alcohol is being served, we will go through the licensing with you and your venue. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Tips for a smooth bar

To get the most from the bar, it helps to:

  • Ask guests about allergies
  • Share taxi numbers with guests
  • Plan alcohol-free drinks for drivers
  • Add food if the bar runs for a while

There are always alcohol-free options, including aguas frescas.

More bar staff for larger crowds, quoted for your event.

Can I do a taco night myself?

A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.

Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.

Sidcup: your questions answered

Where would you park in Sidcup?

London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.

Could you serve in Waring Park?

It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.

Is the food very hot?

We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.

How is the food prepared?

We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.

Do you have dairy-free options?

Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will include them in the plan.

What if the weather’s bad?

We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.

When should we book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.

What does Mexican bar hire cost?

Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a quote.

A closer look at the menu

Mexican beer

Mexican beer is light and refreshing.

Soft drinks

Every bar has alcohol-free choices.

How it works

We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Sunset in Sidcup is around 9:20pm in June, so a summer drinks bar can run into the evening in daylight. For a bar running past dusk, ask the venue about outdoor lighting.

  1. It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
  2. Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
  3. We suggest a drinks list and send a quote.
  4. We arrive, set up and serve margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
  5. After service, we clear the bar away.

Preparing for the day

  • Let us know the timings for the day
  • Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park

Drinks bars for events in Sidcup

Sidcup is about 3 miles north of Orpington, in Greater London. Across the DA14 area, we will come to your venue or site, as long as there’s access. Sidcup is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover. Our nearest city page is London, about 10 miles away.

A gathering in Waring Park? Check the park’s rules first, as alcohol and vehicles generally need permission. Around Sidcup, historic houses include Danson House (1.7 miles north) and Red House (1.9 miles north-east). Grand houses and estates tend to have firm rules on alcohol and outside bars, so raise the drinks bar with them early. An outdoor bar near the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 8 miles of Sidcup, needs firm ground and a way in, plus the right licensing, which we’ll check with you.

Wherever your event is in DA14, DA15, SE9 and DA5, we can bring Mexican bar hire to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. From Station Road, High Street and Jubilee Way or anywhere nearby, we’ll plan where to park and serve. You will find Sidcup on the A211 and A2001, so it’s easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer. If your venue is just outside Sidcup, we also cover Albany Park (1 mile south), Blendon (1 mile north-east), Foots Cray (1 mile south-east), Bexley (2 miles north-east) and North Cray (2 miles east). Larger places within reach include London (10 miles north-west), City of Westminster (12 miles north-west), Marylebone (12 miles north-west), Kensington (14 miles west), St Pancras (11 miles north-west) and Shoreditch (10 miles north-west).

Nearby you will also find Queen Mary's Hospital (1 mile south) and Broadway Shopping Centre (2.4 miles north-east). The countryside around Sidcup includes Summer Hill and The Tarn.

  • Local schools include Chislehurst and Sidcup Grammar School (under half a mile north-east)
  • Pubs nearby include The Alma pub (within half a mile south)

Prices and what affects them

Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:

  • Timings and hours
  • The menu you choose
  • What the venue already provides
  • Food, drinks or both

A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Getting an accurate quote

When you contact us, it helps to tell us:

  • A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
  • The date and rough timings
  • Your menu ideas

The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your event in Sidcup, and we will suggest a menu to suit.

Planning the serving area

We’ll be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:

  • The right licence for alcohol: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice
  • Access to unload close to the bar spot
  • A flat, firm spot for the bar

In Sidcup, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
