Questions from The Frenches
Do you cater in villages like The Frenches?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes. The church itself is not 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.
What does a Mexican bar cost?
We don’t publish set prices, as each event is different. Send your details for a quote.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a quote.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
What Mexican bar hire costs
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- The number of people
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- What’s on the menu
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
There’s 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. Contact us for a quote.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Where the event is
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
Mexican bar hire or something else?
Running your own bar means checking licensing, stock and staff yourself. We talk through licensing and provide bar staff. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run behind, let us know and we will adjust where we can. A late-September party in The Frenches loses the light at about 7:10pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. In late May, it stays light until about 8:55pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
Preparing for the day

DIY taco night or 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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
