A Mexican drinks bar in Wantage: local tips
Wantage is about 8 miles west of Didcot, in Oxfordshire. Across the OX12 area, we can bring the truck or trailer to you, as long as there’s access. We serve in all 443 towns and villages across Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is Oxford, about 14 miles away.
A gathering in Betjeman Millennium Park? Check the park’s rules first, as alcohol and vehicles usually need permission. A drinks bar at a garden or hall near a church like Church of St Peter and St Paul gives guests something to enjoy while photos are taken. An outdoor bar near the North Wessex Downs National Landscape, within about 8 miles of Wantage, needs firm ground and a way in, plus the right licensing, which we will check with you.
Here we cover the OX12 postcode area. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Market Place, Limborough Road and Humber Close. With the A338 and A417 close by, Wantage is easy for us to reach. We also serve at events in Charlton (1 mile east), East Challow (1 mile west), Letcombe Regis (2 miles south-west), West Challow (2 miles west) and Childrey (2 miles west). Within a short drive, we also cover Oxford (14 miles north-east), Didcot (8 miles east), Abingdon-on-Thames (8 miles north-east), Witney (14 miles north), Carterton (14 miles north-west) and Faringdon (8 miles north-west).

Wantage questions
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Betjeman Millennium 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’ll send what they need from us.
How far is Wantage from London?
It’s about 57 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Can you do dairy-free food?
We can. We offer dairy-free options.
Can you come to a private house?
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.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Should I do it myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
Who books Mexican bar hire in Wantage?
It works on its own or with our food.
Whatever the occasion, our truck or trailer can be the centre of it. We can cater:
- Wedding receptions and evening parties

What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. At midsummer, it’s light in Wantage until about 9:25pm, ideal for drinks outdoors. In late September it is dark around 7:10pm, and in December by about 4:00pm, so evening bars need lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
- 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.
- After service, we clear the bar away.
