The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Details of power and water on site

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Southwark questions
Is parking a problem for events in Southwark?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
What’s the nearest station to Southwark for guests?
Guests can use Elephant & Castle station, about 0.5 miles south of Southwark.
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Do you come to Southwark?
We do. We serve at events in Southwark and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you check ages at the bar?
Always. Under-18s are not served alcohol, and we may refuse service to anyone who has had too much.
How much does Mexican bar hire cost in Southwark?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Do you bring staff to serve the drinks?
We bring bar staff, and serve throughout the agreed hours.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Step by step
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. By late September, sunset in Southwark comes at roughly 7:05pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:50pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We talk through licensing with you.
- We agree a drinks menu.
- Our bar staff serve your guests at the agreed times.
- We pack down when the bar closes.
How to prepare
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Tell us when you want service to start

DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Organising for someone else?
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.

Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Timings and hours
- The menu you choose
- Food, drinks or both
- Whether you need disposables
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. To send your details, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
How it compares
Wine and fizz are classic but expected. A Mexican bar feels relaxed and different. 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.
