Mexican bar hire near South Kensington
DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.

How it works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. Evening drinks in South Kensington stay light until about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so a summer drinks bar can run into the evening in daylight. String lights or lanterns near the hatch make a later bar easier to find.
- We check availability.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Name one person we can ask on the day

Planning drinks for every guest
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Agree bar timings in advance
- Think about how guests get home
- Ask guests about allergies
- Allow time for a Temporary Event Notice if one is needed
We serve responsibly: no alcohol for under-18s, and we may refuse service to anyone who has had too much.
Pair the bar with tacos, burritos and nachos.
FAQs for South Kensington
Is it possible to have you in Burton’s Court?
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 will send what they need from us.
We’re having a ceremony at Chapel of St Luke: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Can we book the bar without food?
Of course. Ask about adding tacos and burritos.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
What does Mexican bar hire cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
What does a Mexican bar cost?
There is no fixed price list, as each event is different. Send your details for a quote.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Organising for someone else?
Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will let you know if it’s a good fit.
Organising a club, school or community event in South Kensington? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Access to unload close to the bar spot
- The venue’s permission for an outside bar
- Licensing checked with you before the day
In South Kensington, 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 are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
