Mexican bar hire for your event in Southend
Our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with bar staff to serve your guests. You can book it alone or with our Mexican catering. At themed celebrations and client events and launches, we will put together a menu of Mexican beer, margaritas and agua de jamaica and more.
Around Southend, a courtyard or forecourt the truck or trailer can reach is ideal. Let us know about parking, permits and any parking suspension. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

What we need at the venue
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- A flat, firm spot for the bar
- Vehicle access near the bar
In Southend, 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Planning a drinks bar in Southend
Southend is about 2 miles north of Beckenham, in Greater London. We bring Mexican bar hire to gardens, halls and venues around Southend and nearby villages. Southend is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we can bring Mexican bar hire. We cater right across the region, from Southend to London (about 6 miles away).
Guests travelling by rail: Southend has its own station, Bellingham station. A gathering in Forster Memorial Park? Check the park’s rules first, as alcohol and vehicles usually need permission.
Wherever your event is in SE6, SE26 and SE23, we can bring Mexican bar hire to you. From Oslac Road, Orford Road and Aitken Road or anywhere nearby, we can bring Mexican bar hire there, given access. Southend sits on or near the A2218, so getting the truck or trailer to your event is simple. For events just outside Southend, we cover Bellingham (1 mile north), Bell Green (1 mile west), Catford (1 mile north-east), Perry Vale (1 mile west) and Sydenham (1 mile west). We also cater in nearby towns such as London (6 miles north-west), City of Westminster (8 miles north-west), Marylebone (8 miles north-west), Kensington (9 miles north-west), St Pancras (8 miles north-west) and Shoreditch (7 miles north).
Nearby you will also find University Hospital Lewisham (1.6 miles north) and Municipal Borough of Bromley (2.8 miles south-east). Not far away are Downham Woodland Walk and Knight's Hill.

Tips for a smooth bar
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Collect allergy details in advance
- Ensure there’s water for guests
- Let us know how many non-drinkers to expect
- Ask your venue about its licence early
We set up the bar before guests arrive, so drinks are ready when you are.
Pair the bar with tacos, burritos and nachos.
Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
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.
What’s on the menu
Soft drinks
A choice of soft drinks for drivers and children.
Horchata
A sweet, creamy rice drink with cinnamon.
Common questions in Southend
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Dunstan?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Which station is closest to Southend?
Guests can use Bellingham station, which is right in Southend.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
What Mexican bar hire costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Serving staff
- The number of people
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- The menu you choose
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.

How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. Evening drinks in Southend 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.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We talk licensing through with you.
- You choose the drinks with us.
- Our bar staff serve your guests at the agreed times.
- We clear the bar at the end.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
