Planning an event in Afton?
Space, access and the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Somewhere to park and unload nearby
- Firm, level ground where we can set up
- A bar spot away from homes
For somewhere as remote as Afton, early notice helps us plan the trip, the route in and power.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
On the menu in Afton
- Agua de jamaica (hibiscus)

Mexican bar hire in Afton, served fresh
Our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, served by our bar staff. It works on its own or alongside our food. At anniversaries and engagements and taco nights and themed parties, we can serve Mexican beer, soft drinks and alcohol-free drinks for your guests.
In a rural spot like Afton, drinks can be served from our food truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, given access. We will go through the licensing with you. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Serving staff
- Timings and hours
- Distance and access to the venue
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- The address or venue name
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Your menu ideas
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, send a quick message through our quote form.
Drinks bars for events in Afton
Afton is about 6 miles south of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. We cater events at homes, gardens and venues in Afton and nearby villages. Afton is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Afton to Southampton (18 miles away).
If you are looking at a historic venue around Afton, check its rules on outside bars and vehicles early. Once the ceremony at a church like St. Agnes' Church is over, guests may be glad of a cold drink at the reception venue. Drinks by the sea could work, as Afton is within about 2 miles of the coast. Licensing on the seafront needs checking, and we will do that with you.
We cover events in every part of the PO40 postcode area. Local streets include Bay Road, Afton Road and Manor Road; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. If your venue is just outside Afton, we also cover Afton Park (1 mile east), Easton (1 mile west), Freshwater (1 mile north-west), Norton Green (1 mile north) and Colwell (1 mile north-west). Further out, we also cater in Newport (9 miles east), Ryde (15 miles east), Cowes (10 miles north-east), Sandown (15 miles east), Shanklin (15 miles east) and Ventnor (14 miles south-east). Remote venues take a little more planning, so ask early about your event.
Other landmarks nearby include Medina (1.5 miles west) and Yarmouth Castle (2.2 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Afton Down and Lymington and Keyhaven Marshes Nature Reserve.
- Pubs nearby include The Red Lion pub (0.7 miles north)
Step by step
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. In December, the light goes in Afton at about 4:05pm, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- We check availability.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.

Questions from Afton
Do you cater in villages like Afton?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Could you come to a seaside event near Afton?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
Do you check ages at the bar?
Our bar staff serve responsibly: alcohol-free drinks for under-18s, and we offer water and alcohol-free choices throughout.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can children have drinks from the bar?
Every bar has alcohol-free choices, from aguas frescas to soft drinks.
