Mexican bar hire in Portsmouth: what to expect

Our bar travels to events across Portsmouth and nearby: from weddings and parties to work events. On the menu are soft drinks, horchata and margaritas, which works well for milestone birthdays and winter celebrations.

It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss.

  1. First, we check your date.
  2. We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
  3. We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
  4. The bar opens at the agreed time.
  5. We tidy up at the end.

Receptions and parties in Portsmouth

Across Portsmouth, a drinks bar suits receptions in Southsea, Milton and Landport and garden parties in its villages. We’ll talk licensing through with you for each event. 19 of the places we cover in Portsmouth are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we plan for the wind at seaside events, and seafront spots need permission and firm ground for the truck or trailer.

Portsmouth: If the service is at a church such as St Wilfrid, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. A gathering in Alexandra Park? Check the park’s rules first, as alcohol and vehicles usually need permission. In December, the light goes in Portsmouth at about 4:00pm, so plan where guests will gather, and how it will be lit. Midsummer is the opposite, with daylight until about 9:20pm.

What we need at the venue

Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:

  • A premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice in place
  • A clear area in front of the bar
  • Permission from the venue or landowner

Why street food works

Licensing is talked through with you, so there are no surprises.

If you are planning any of these, we can help:

  • Engagement celebrations
  • Wedding receptions and evening parties
  • Product launches and client events
  • Taco nights and themed parties

Planners, venues and businesses

Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.

For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.

Prices and what affects them

We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:

  • Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
  • Distance and access to the venue
  • What’s on the menu
  • Whether you need disposables

A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

Getting an accurate quote

To check availability and price, we need:

  • Expected numbers
  • The venue or postcode
  • A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you are ready, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

Drinks planning tips

Some planning tips for the drinks:

  • Give the council notice in good time for a Temporary Event Notice
  • Plan alcohol-free drinks for drivers
  • Think about how guests get home
  • Tell us when the bar should open and close

Responsible serving comes first: under-18s are not served alcohol, and nor is anyone who has had too much.
