How our Mexican bar hire works in Ansty
We set up the bar at events in and around Ansty: weddings, parties, staff events and festivals. Popular choices include Mexican beer, horchata and alcohol-free drinks, and it is a good fit for anniversaries and engagements and end-of-year parties.
In a rural spot like Ansty, drinks can be served from our food truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, given access. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

How it works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Winter receptions in Ansty are dark by about 3:55pm in December, so plan where guests will gather, and how it will be lit. Midsummer is the opposite, with daylight until about 9:20pm.
