Mexican bar hire for your event in Surrey Quays
Serving alcohol at events needs a licence: a premises licence at the venue, or a Temporary Event Notice. We go through the licensing with you before the day. For big birthday celebrations and company summer parties, we’ll put together a menu of alcohol-free drinks, horchata and Mexican beer and more.
A Mexican drinks bar works well for receptions and parties in Surrey Quays. As with any London event, parking and loading need planning. We will check the licensing with you and your venue. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Mexican bar hire or something else?

Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Somewhere to park and unload nearby
- The venue’s permission for an outside bar
- Space for guests to queue at the bar
In Surrey Quays, 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 photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Common questions in Surrey Quays
Is parking a problem for events in Surrey Quays?
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.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Katharine with St Bartholomew?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, for instance a supply from the venue, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
How much does Mexican bar hire cost in Surrey Quays?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a quote.
Do you have a licence to sell alcohol?
Alcohol at an event needs the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We go through the licensing with you before the day. GOV.UK explains Temporary Event Notices.
Tips for a smooth bar
A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:
- Check how alcohol will be licensed at your venue
- Plan any Temporary Event Notice well ahead
- Tell us how many guests are under 18
- Plan water alongside the bar
Allergen information is available for every drink.
Alcohol-free aguas frescas for all ages.
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. By late September, sunset in Surrey Quays 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.
- First, we check your date.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- We tidy up at the end.
Before we arrive
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
