Mexican bar hire in West End, from our truck or trailer
Aguas frescas are Mexico’s fresh fruit and flower drinks: hibiscus agua de jamaica, horchata, tamarind and fruit waters. They’re a good alcohol-free choice for everyone. It suits mexican-themed parties and wedding drinks receptions, with margaritas, alcohol-free drinks and Mexican beer.
In a rural spot like West End, drinks can be served from our food truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, as long as we can get in. We will check the licensing with you. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

DIY taco night versus 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’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Where the truck can go in West End
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Space for guests to queue at the bar
- The venue’s permission for an outside bar
- Somewhere to park and unload nearby
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

FAQs for West End
Will you travel to a small place like West End?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
We are having a ceremony at St Peter: 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 provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain doesn’t usually stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Do you have options for kids?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
What’s on the menu?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
