Mexican bar hire in Upper Clapton
How our Mexican bar hire works in Upper Clapton
Serving alcohol at events needs a licence: either the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We’ll go through the licensing with you. It suits wedding receptions and evening parties and big birthday celebrations, serving aguas frescas, horchata and agua de jamaica.
For a drinks reception in Upper Clapton, a courtyard, forecourt or venue with vehicle access suits the truck or trailer. Tell us about narrow streets, permit bays or a parking suspension. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

What affects the price in Upper Clapton
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, parking and access
- Timings and hours
- How many guests we are serving
- What’s on the menu
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- The address or venue name

Upper Clapton: your questions answered
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Thomas the Apostle?
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.
Could you serve in Springfield 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.
What does Mexican bar hire cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we will suggest the best set-up.
For event organisers in Upper Clapton
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
The process
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a photo of the space if you’re unsure. In December, the light goes in Upper Clapton at about 3:55pm, so plan where guests will gather, and how it will be lit. Midsummer is the opposite, with daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We talk through licensing with you.
- We agree a drinks menu.
- Our bar staff serve your guests at the agreed times.
- We clear the bar at the end.
Before we arrive
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer

Where the truck can go in Upper Clapton
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Details of power and water on site
- Agreement from the venue for our bar
- A bar spot away from homes
As a London location, Upper Clapton is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.

- How bad weather is handled
- The deposit and payment dates

Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

- Let us know how many non-drinkers to expect
- Pair the bar with hot food
- Find out if you need a Temporary Event Notice
