- Plan water alongside the bar
- Check allergies with guests, including for drinks
- Give the council notice in good time for a Temporary Event Notice
- Plan transport home for guests
Responsible serving comes first: under-18s are not served alcohol, and nor is anyone who has had too much.

Which station should guests use for West End?
The closest is Southampton Airport Parkway station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.

Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will plan the menu around them.

Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you have gluten-free options?

A Mexican drinks bar in West End: local tips
West End is about 2 miles east of Southampton, in Hampshire. From the centre of West End to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. West End is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire we cover.
Older venues around West End may restrict vehicles and outside drinks service, so confirm what’s allowed before booking. A gathering in Itchen Valley Country Park? Check the park’s rules first, as alcohol and vehicles generally need permission. With the sea within about 4 miles, a seaside drinks reception is an option. Seafront spots typically need permission, especially for alcohol, and the truck or trailer needs firm ground.
Wherever your event is in SO30 and SO18, we can bring Mexican bar hire to you. From High Street, Hatch Mead and Glenlea Close or a nearby road, we can bring Mexican bar hire there, given access. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Chartwell Green (1 mile west), Harefield (1 mile south), Townhill Park (1 mile west), Midanbury (1 mile west) and Mansbridge (1 mile north-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Winchester (9 miles north), Gosport (12 miles south-east), Eastleigh (3 miles north), Fareham (8 miles south-east), Horndean (14 miles east) and Totton (7 miles west).
Nearby you will also find Netley Castle (3.7 miles south) and Marlands Shopping Centre (3.3 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Netley Common.

Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Where the event is
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Where the truck can go in West End
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Space for guests to queue at the bar
- Somewhere to park and unload nearby
- A bar spot away from homes

How it works
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. Winter receptions in West End are dark by about 4:00pm in December, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:25pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We go through the licensing with you.
- We agree a drinks menu.
- We serve drinks responsibly on the day.
- We pack down when the bar closes.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Name one person we can ask on the day
