Comparing your options

Wine and fizz are classic but expected. A Mexican bar feels relaxed and different. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

How it works

Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. Winter receptions in Swanton are dark by about 3:55pm in December, so plan where guests will gather, and how it will be lit. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:20pm.

  1. First, we check your date.
  2. We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
  3. We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
  4. We set up and serve on cue.
  5. When the bar shuts, we clear away.

Preparing for the day

  • Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
  • Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
  • Tell us what power and water the site has

What affects the price in Swanton

The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:

  • Your choice of food and drinks
  • How many guests we are serving
  • What the venue already provides
  • The length of service

There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican bar hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.

What to tell us

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:

  • The date and rough timings
  • What power and water the site has
  • Gate widths, slopes and the ground
  • Diets and allergies you know about

A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. When you are ready, send a quick message through our quote form.

Questions from Swanton

Is Swanton close to London?

It is about 26 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.

We are having a ceremony at Church of St Dunstan: can you cater afterwards?

Yes. The church itself isn’t 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.

Is the food made fresh?

We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.

Do you have options for kids?

Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.

Do you do parties at home?

That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a picture and we’ll talk it through.

How much space do you need?

Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.

Do we need a licence for the bar?

It depends on the venue. If the venue has no licence, a Temporary Event Notice may be needed. We talk it through with you.

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.
