Mexican bar hire in Upton, from our food truck or trailer
Alcohol at an event needs the right licence: a premises licence at the venue, or a Temporary Event Notice. We will talk licensing through with you. For wedding receptions and evening parties and winter celebrations, we can serve horchata, Mexican beer and soft drinks for your guests.
In a rural spot like Upton, drinks can be served from our truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, given access. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. You’ll know what’s included before booking: menu, timings and any add-ons.

FAQs for Upton
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
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.
Do you cater in villages like Upton?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can children have drinks from the bar?
Always. Aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata are alcohol-free, along with soft drinks.
Do you do drinks only?
Yes. Book the bar on its own.
What do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
