Mexican bar hire in Alton, from our truck or trailer
Soft drinks and alcohol-free choices are always part of the bar, for drivers, children and anyone not drinking. At launch parties and licensed festivals, we will put together a menu of horchata, alcohol-free drinks and Mexican beer and more.
In a town like Alton, a drinks bar suits garden parties, club and hall events, and receptions. We need a level spot for the truck or trailer and the venue’s permission, and we’ll talk licensing through with you. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.

FAQs for Alton
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Lawrence: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Alton close to London?
It’s about 45 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
How much does the drinks bar cost?
Every bar is quoted for individually, depending on guests, drinks and timings. For a price, fill in our quote form.
Are plates and napkins included?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we’ll talk it through.
How big an event can you cater?
Our truck and trailer service normally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
The process
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. By late September, sunset in Alton 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 8:55pm.
