A Mexican drinks bar in Apse Heath: local tips

Apse Heath is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight where we can bring Mexican bar hire. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Apse Heath to Southampton (about 21 miles away).

Drinks by the sea could work, as Apse Heath is within about 3 miles of the coast. Licensing on the seafront needs checking, and we will do that with you.

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 dishes for guests with allergies.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Organising for someone else?
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
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’ll follow them.
Tips for a smooth bar
A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:
- Check how alcohol will be licensed at your venue
- Have plenty of water available
- Ensure drivers have good choices
- Share bar opening times
Responsible serving comes first: no alcohol for under-18s, and we may refuse service to anyone who has had too much.
Alcohol-free aguas frescas for all ages.
