About our Mexican bar hire in St Luke's
Soft drinks and alcohol-free choices are always part of the bar, for drivers, children and anyone not drinking. For weddings, day or evening and summer garden parties, we will put together a menu of agua de jamaica, aguas frescas and soft drinks and more.
A Mexican drinks bar works well for receptions and parties in St Luke's. As with any London event, parking and loading need planning. We will talk licensing through with you and your venue.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- What the venue already provides
- Distance and access to the venue
- How long we’re needed on site
- The number of people
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- The date and rough timings
- Your menu ideas
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, use our quote form.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. A summer drinks reception in St Luke's has daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, ideal for drinks outdoors. By late September, sunset is about 7:05pm, and in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting around the bar.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
- We check the licensing with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- You get a suggested drinks menu and a quote.
- On the day we set up the bar and our bar staff serve your guests.
- After service, we clear the bar away.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
How to get a price

Can I do a taco night myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Drinks planning tips
Some planning tips for the drinks:
- Give the council notice in good time for a Temporary Event Notice
- Find out if you need a Temporary Event Notice
- Ensure drivers have good choices
- Serve food alongside the drinks
When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.
Ask us about glassware or cups and we’ll set out the options.
What we need at the venue
We will be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Vehicle access near the bar
- Details of power and water on site
- Agreement from the venue for our bar
As a London location, St Luke's is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- Soft drinks
- Horchata
- Margaritas
- Agua de jamaica (hibiscus)

Your questions about Mexican bar hire in St Luke's
Is parking a problem for events in St Luke's?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Could you serve in Artillery Ground?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t typically stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food.
Do you bring staff to serve the drinks?
Our bar staff run the bar. Responsible serving comes first.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Comparing your options
Leaving guests to bring their own is easy but unpredictable. A staffed bar means everyone is served, including non-drinkers. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
