Questions from Upper Ruxley
Is it possible to have you in Foots Cray Meadows?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a photo of the access and the space, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
Can we book the bar without food?
Of course. Our Mexican catering can be added too.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you come to Upper Ruxley?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Upper Ruxley. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
How our Mexican bar hire works in Upper Ruxley
Responsible serving matters to us: no alcohol for under-18s, and plenty of alcohol-free choices. It works well for festivals and fairs and launch parties, serving soft drinks, agua de jamaica and Mexican beer.
In Upper Ruxley, a drinks bar suits courtyard receptions, office parties and evening events. Parking and loading need planning, as with any London event. If alcohol is being served, we will talk licensing through with you and your venue. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
