Mexican bar hire in Streatham, from our truck or trailer

Serving alcohol at events needs a licence: either the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We talk licensing through with you before the day. At staff parties and themed celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of horchata, soft drinks and margaritas.

A Mexican drinks bar works well for receptions and parties in Streatham. 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 will go through the licensing with you and your venue. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Planning the serving area

We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:

  • Licensing checked with you before the day
  • Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
  • The venue’s permission for an outside bar

In Streatham, 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.

Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Streatham questions

We are having a ceremony at St Leonard's Church: can you cater afterwards?

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’ll check the access.

Could you serve in Streatham Common?

It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.

Can you do gluten-free food?

Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.

What food and drinks do you offer?

We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.

What drinks do you serve?

Our bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata.

Do you serve responsibly?

Yes. No alcohol is served to under-18s, and we may refuse service to anyone who has had too much.

Will someone run the bar?

Bar staff are part of the service.

Where do you cater?

We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.

Why choose Mexican bar hire in Streatham?

A themed bar adds a talking point, more than a standard bar.

In Streatham and nearby, we can cater all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:

  • Fairs and community events
  • Summer garden parties
  • Launch parties
  • Work celebrations

Around Streatham, historic houses include Kingswood House (2 miles east) and Carlyle's House (4.3 miles north-west). Before booking a historic venue, find out whether it lets an outside bar bring a vehicle on site.

Questions to ask before you book

  • How many staff are serving, and for how long
  • Plates and napkins, or nothing at all
  • Payment terms and deposit
  • How each diet is kept separate

Choosing a Mexican caterer

Planners, venues and businesses

If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.

Step by step

From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event. Evening drinks in Streatham stay light until about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so a summer drinks bar can run into the evening in daylight. String lights or lanterns near the hatch make a later bar easier to find.

  1. Send us the date, venue and numbers.
  2. We check the licensing with you.
  3. We agree a drinks menu.
  4. Our bar staff serve your guests at the agreed times.
  5. We pack down when the bar closes.

Before we arrive

  • Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
  • Measure any gates or arches on the way in

Mexican bar hire in SW16, SW2, CR4 and SW12 is planned around your venue and access and your guests.
