The process

Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. At midsummer, it is light in South Hampstead until about 9:20pm, ideal for drinks outdoors. By late September, sunset is about 7:05pm, and in December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting around the bar.

  1. You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
  2. We talk licensing through with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
  3. We put together a drinks menu, with alcohol-free choices, and quote for it.
  4. We arrive, set up and serve margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
  5. We pack away when the bar shuts and leave the area tidy.

Before we arrive

  • Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
  • Confirm numbers and diets before the day
  • Tell us about narrow gates or low branches

Questions from South Hampstead

Where would you park in South Hampstead?

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.

Which station should guests use for South Hampstead?

Guests can use South Hampstead station, which is right in South Hampstead.

What does a Mexican bar cost?

There is no fixed price list, because every event is different. Tell us your plans for a quote.

Can you do gluten-free food?

Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.

What does Mexican bar hire cost?

Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a quote.

Can you run a bar?

Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.

How big an event can you cater?

Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.

Do we need a licence for the bar?

You will need either the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We’ll check the licensing with you. See GOV.UK for Temporary Event Notices.

Space, access and the venue

We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:

  • Vehicle access near the bar
  • Level, firm ground for the bar set-up
  • A premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice in place

London streets around South Hampstead can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.

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

Popular choices

  • Agua de jamaica (hibiscus)
  • Horchata

Comparing your options

Bring-your-own is simple but uneven. A staffed bar means everyone is served. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.

Why book Mobile Mexican Catering in South Hampstead

  • Every guest catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included
  • Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
  • A truck or trailer that comes to you
  • Menus chosen with you

See our prices page and the cost guide.

How we price Mexican bar hire

We quote for your event, which reflects:

  • The length of service
  • Plates, napkins and cutlery
  • Whether you add a drinks bar or food
  • The number of people

Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

Getting an accurate quote

The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:

  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
  • What you’d like on the menu
  • The date and rough timings
  • A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field

Not sure what you need yet? That’s fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll make suggestions. When you’re ready, send a quick message through our quote form.

Planning drinks for every guest

A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:

  • Make sure drivers have good choices
  • Check how alcohol will be licensed at your venue
  • Serve food alongside the drinks
  • Have plenty of water available

If timings change, tell us and we will adjust.

Pair the bar with tacos, burritos and nachos.

DIY taco night or a caterer?

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.

You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.

Occasions we cater for in South Hampstead

It works on its own or with our food.

We cater all kinds of occasions in South Hampstead and nearby. Popular bookings include:

  • End-of-year and Christmas parties
  • Big birthday celebrations
  • Mexican-themed parties

Serving alcohol in Primrose Hill would need the owner’s permission and probably a licence, so a garden or venue is often simpler.
