Mexican bar hire or something else?
Running your own bar means checking licensing, stock and staff yourself. We talk through licensing and provide bar staff. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.

Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Food, drinks or both
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many guests we’re serving
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The address or venue name
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Your menu ideas
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll send you a clear quote and a suggested menu.

FAQs for Sonning Common
Could you serve our guests after a service at The Church of Christ the King?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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 will check the access.
How far is Sonning Common from central London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
Do you have a licence to sell alcohol?
It depends on the venue. If the venue has no licence, a Temporary Event Notice may be needed. We will go through the licensing with you.
Do you check ages at the bar?
Our bar staff serve responsibly: under-18s get alcohol-free drinks only, with water and alcohol-free choices on hand.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we will go through the licensing with you and your venue.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give 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.
What’s on the drinks menu?
Margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We plan the list with you.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
