How it works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. A summer drinks reception in Arborfield Garrison has daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer, ideal for drinks outdoors. In late September it is dark around 7:05pm, and in December by about 3:55pm, so evening bars need lighting.
- We check availability.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- We tidy up at the end.
Before we arrive

Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
FAQs for Arborfield Garrison

What Mexican bar hire costs
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- How long we are needed on site
- What’s on the menu
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- What power and water the site has
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- The date and time of the event
- Your menu ideas
Send us the date, your venue or RG2 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and you will get menu ideas and a price. Just use our quote form.
What we need at the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Level, firm ground for the bar set-up
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- A clear area in front of the bar
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
