Mexican bar hire in Andover, served fresh
Our bar staff serve responsibly: no alcohol for under-18s, and plenty of alcohol-free choices. On the menu are aguas frescas, margaritas and soft drinks, which works well for garden get-togethers and licensed festivals.
In a town like Andover, a drinks bar suits garden parties, club and hall events, and receptions. The venue needs to allow us on site and have level ground. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
For planners, venues and organisers
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.

How the day works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. In December, the light goes in Andover at about 4:00pm, so plan where guests will gather, and how it will be lit. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:25pm.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We talk through licensing with you.
- We agree a drinks menu.
- We serve drinks responsibly on the day.
- We clear the bar at the end.
Getting ready for the day

How far is Andover from central London?
Roughly 63 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
What does Mexican bar hire cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will talk licensing through with you.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Will someone run the bar?
We bring bar staff, and serve throughout the agreed hours.

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.

Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
