Thamesmead questions
Is parking a problem for events in Thamesmead?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Abbey Wood Park?
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 do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Who handles the licensing?
It depends on the venue. Some venues have a premises licence; others need a Temporary Event Notice. We talk it through with you.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
That is confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
How much does Mexican bar hire cost in Thamesmead?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you do drinks only?
Yes. The bar can be booked on its own, or with our Mexican catering.

The process
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain doesn’t typically stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Evening drinks in Thamesmead 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.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- We talk through licensing with you, whether that is the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- We put together a drinks menu, with alcohol-free choices, and quote for it.
- On the day, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
- When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
Ask for a quote
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just tell us about it on our contact page.
Planning help
Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Details of power and water on site
- Firm, level ground where we can set up
- A spot away from neighbours’ windows if the bar runs late
London streets around Thamesmead can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
What we offer
- Margaritas
- Mexican beer
- Agua de jamaica (hibiscus)
- Soft drinks
- Fruit aguas frescas
- Horchata
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Why choose Mexican bar hire in Thamesmead?
Leaving guests to bring their own is easy but unpredictable. A bar gives every guest a drink in hand, including non-drinkers. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.
