Tips for a smooth bar
A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:
- Make sure drivers have good choices
- Ask guests about allergies
- Tell us how many guests are under 18
- Share taxi numbers with guests
There are always alcohol-free options.
Extra bar staff for busy events.
Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Popular choices
Horchata
A sweet, creamy rice drink with cinnamon, served cold.
Soft drinks
Every bar has alcohol-free choices.
How the day works
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. By late September, sunset in Alciston comes at roughly 7:05pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. In late May, it stays light until about 8:50pm.
- First, we check your date.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
Getting a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you will get menu ideas and a price. To get started, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

Why choose Mexican bar hire in Alciston?

What you get with us
- Options for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests
- Menus chosen with you
- Allergen information for every dish
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
Before you choose a spot
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- The venue’s permission for an outside bar

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
