Where the truck can go in St John's Wood
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- Room for a queue
- Level, firm ground for the bar set-up
- Somewhere to park and unload nearby
In St John's Wood, 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 photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

About our Mexican bar hire in St John's Wood
Serving alcohol at events needs a licence: either the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We’ll go through the licensing with you. Popular choices include Mexican beer, alcohol-free drinks and aguas frescas, which works well for engagement celebrations and garden get-togethers.
Around St John's Wood, a courtyard or forecourt the truck or trailer can reach is ideal. Let us know about parking, permits and any parking suspension. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

How we price Mexican bar hire
These are the factors that matter most:
- Whether you need disposables
- What’s on the menu
- How long we’re needed on site
- How many staff you need
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.

Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- What you’d like on the menu

DIY taco night or a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
The process
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. In December, the light goes in St John's Wood at about 3:55pm, so plan where guests will gather, and how it will be lit. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- We check availability.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We tidy up at the end.

Common questions in St John's Wood
What’s the nearest station to St John's Wood for guests?
Guests can use South Hampstead station, which is right in St John's Wood.
Where would you park in St John's Wood?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
What about power on site?
Tell us what the site has, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How much is the bar?
We quote for each event, depending on guests, drinks and timings. For a price, send a quick message through our quote form.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will check the licensing with you.
Do you have alcohol-free drinks?
Yes. Aguas frescas and soft drinks are alcohol-free, along with soft drinks.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
