DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
How the day works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. At midsummer, it’s light in Sydenham Hill until about 9:20pm, ideal for drinks outdoors. By late September, sunset is about 7:05pm, and in December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting around the bar.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
- We suggest a drinks list and send a quote.
- We arrive, set up and serve margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
- When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Let us know the timings for the day

Your questions about Mexican bar hire in Sydenham Hill
Is it possible to have you in Long Meadow?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Philip the Apostle?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you follow the rules on serving alcohol?
Yes. No alcohol is served to under-18s, and we may refuse service to anyone who has had too much.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
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.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.

What else we do in Sydenham Hill
Why choose Mexican bar hire in Sydenham Hill?

Why book with us
- A clear quote
- Menus chosen with you
- Menus for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests

Take a look at our pricing or our guide to catering costs.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- The right licence for alcohol: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice
- Agreement from the venue for our bar
- A flat, firm spot for the bar
In Sydenham Hill, 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 picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
Popular choices
- Horchata
- Margaritas
- Agua de jamaica (hibiscus)
- Soft drinks
- Mexican beer
- Fruit aguas frescas
Working with your venue
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
What Mexican bar hire costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Serving staff
- The number of people
