How our Mexican bar hire works in South Bank
Pair the bar with our Mexican catering for tacos, burritos and nachos, so food and drinks come from one booking. It works well for festivals and fairs and launch parties, serving Mexican beer, alcohol-free drinks and horchata.
For a drinks reception in South Bank, a courtyard, forecourt or venue with vehicle access suits the truck or trailer. Tell us about narrow streets, permit bays or a parking suspension. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

For event organisers in South Bank
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Throwing 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.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
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.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

Your questions about Mexican bar hire in South Bank
Could you serve our guests after a service at St John's Church?
Yes. The church itself is not 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’ll check the access.
Could you serve in Jubilee Gardens?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
Do you come to South Bank?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and South Bank is within our area and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, use our quote form.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear 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). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, including South Bank.
What’s on the drinks menu?
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, plus soft drinks. We plan the list with you.
The process
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. Sunset in South Bank is around 9:20pm in June, which suits an outdoor bar. String lights or lanterns near the hatch make a later bar easier to find.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We talk through licensing with you.
- You choose the drinks with us.
- Our bar staff serve your guests at the agreed times.
- We pack down when the bar closes.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

Before you choose a spot
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
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- The venue’s permission for an outside bar
In South Bank, 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.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
