Questions from Southgate
What’s the nearest station to Southgate for guests?
New Southgate station, about 1 mile south-west of the centre.
Is it possible to have you in Grovelands Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
What can we have at the bar?
Margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. The drinks list is agreed with you.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Send us a photo of the access and the space.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you follow the rules on serving alcohol?
Always. No alcohol is served to under-18s, and anyone who has had too much won’t be served more.
About our Mexican bar hire in Southgate
Mexican beer is served cold, with a wedge of lime if guests like. Popular choices include horchata, Mexican beer and margaritas, and it suits licensed festivals and product launches and client events.
In Southgate, a drinks bar suits courtyard receptions, office parties and evening events. Parking and loading need planning, as with any London event, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. If alcohol is being served, we’ll talk licensing through with you and your venue. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Who books Mexican bar hire in Southgate?
It works on its own or with our food.
Whatever the occasion, our truck or trailer can be the centre of it. We’re happy to cater:
- Anniversaries and engagements
- End-of-year and Christmas parties
- Milestone birthdays
- Licensed festivals
Older venues around Southgate may restrict vehicles and outside drinks service, so confirm what’s allowed before you book.
Before you book anyone
- How bad weather is handled
- If the price includes VAT
- Exactly what’s included in the price

Space, access and the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Licensing checked with you before the day
- Details of power and water on site
- A clear area in front of the bar
In Southgate, 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.
