How our Mexican bar hire works in Swiss Cottage
The margarita is the star of the bar: lime, tequila and orange liqueur, served cold, with or without a salted rim. We serve soft drinks, Mexican beer and agua de jamaica, and it is a good fit for garden parties and wedding drinks receptions.
For a drinks reception in Swiss Cottage, a courtyard, forecourt or venue with vehicle access suits the truck or trailer. Tell us about narrow streets, permit bays or a parking suspension. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Drinks planning tips
A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:
- Share taxi numbers with guests
- Pair the bar with hot food
- Have plenty of water available
- Ask guests about allergies
Alcohol-free drinks are always available.
Alcohol-free aguas frescas for all ages.
How the day works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A photo of the space helps. A late-September party in Swiss Cottage loses the light at about 7:05pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:55pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We talk through licensing with you.
- You choose the drinks with us.
- We serve drinks responsibly on the day.
- We pack down when the bar closes.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Name one person we can ask on the day

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Timings and hours
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Parking and the route in
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- The venue or postcode
- What power and water the site has
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you’re ready, use our quote form.

Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Space for guests to queue at the bar
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- Licensing checked with you before the day
In Swiss Cottage, 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 you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Your questions about Mexican bar hire in Swiss Cottage
Could you serve in Primrose Hill?
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 will send what they need from us.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of All Souls?
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 will check the access.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you do drinks only?
Of course. Our Mexican catering can be added too.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Do you bring staff to serve the drinks?
Our bar staff run the bar. Responsible serving comes first.
Organising for someone else?
Organising a club, school or community event in Swiss Cottage? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if it is a good fit.
