How our Mexican bar hire works in Waterloo
Margaritas are the centrepiece: tequila, lime and orange liqueur over ice. On the menu are alcohol-free drinks, margaritas and horchata, which works well for engagement and anniversary parties and end-of-year parties.
For a drinks reception in Waterloo, a courtyard, forecourt or venue with vehicle access suits the truck or trailer. Let us know about parking, permits and any parking suspension. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.

The process
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. Winter receptions in Waterloo are dark by about 3:55pm in December, so plan where guests will gather, and how it will be lit. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
- We talk through licensing with you, whether that’s the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- You get a suggested drinks menu and a quote.
- On the day we set up the bar and our bar staff serve your guests.
- After service, we clear the bar away.
How to prepare
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve

Planning help
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
What affects the price in Waterloo
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- What the venue already provides
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Serving staff
- Parking and the route in
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where the event is
- Approximate guest numbers, including children

FAQs for Waterloo
Is parking a problem for events in Waterloo?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Could you serve in Jubilee Gardens?
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.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll talk it through.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Do you check ages at the bar?
Responsible serving comes first: alcohol-free drinks for under-18s, and we offer water and alcohol-free choices throughout.
Who handles the licensing?
It depends on the venue. Some venues have a premises licence; others need a Temporary Event Notice. We talk it through with you.
What do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
