Other catering in St Johns
Where the truck can go in St Johns
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- A bar spot away from homes
- The right licence for alcohol: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice
- Firm, level ground where we can set up
In St Johns, 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Horchata
- Agua de jamaica (hibiscus)
- Fruit aguas frescas
- Soft drinks
- Mexican beer
- Margaritas
FAQs for St Johns
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St John?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
What about parking in St Johns?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
What drinks do you serve?
Margaritas and Mexican beer, with aguas frescas like horchata and agua de jamaica.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
How much is the bar?
Every bar is quoted for individually, depending on guests, drinks and timings. Contact us for a quote.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
How it works
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. A summer drinks reception in St Johns has daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. In late September it’s dark around 7:05pm, and in December by about 3:55pm, so evening bars need lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
- We put together a drinks menu, with alcohol-free choices, and quote for it.
- On the day we set up the bar and our bar staff serve your guests.
- When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Find out what power and water are available
- Give us your final numbers and diets

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
How it compares
A generic bar does the job, but margaritas and aguas frescas give the bar character. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
