Mexican bar hire in Afton Park
Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.

How the day works
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. A late-September party in Afton Park loses the light at about 7:10pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. In late May, it stays light until about 8:55pm.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- We talk through licensing with you, whether that is the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- We suggest a drinks list and send a quote.
- On the day, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
- When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Around Afton Park, historic houses include Mottistone Manor (3.8 miles south-east). Before booking a historic venue, find out whether it lets an outside bar bring a vehicle on site. 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 Park is within about 2 miles of the coast. Licensing on the seafront needs checking, and we will do that with you.

Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
