Bailey's Hard: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for Bailey's Hard?
Beaulieu Road station, about 4.2 miles north-west of the centre.
Do you cater in the New Forest National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How much is the bar?
Every bar is quoted for individually, depending on guests, drinks and timings. For a price, tell us about it on our contact page.
Do you follow the rules on serving alcohol?
Responsible serving comes first: under-18s get alcohol-free drinks only, with water and alcohol-free choices on hand.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Do you bring staff to serve the drinks?
Our bar staff run the bar. They serve responsibly.
Mexican bar hire in Bailey's Hard, served fresh
Aguas frescas are Mexico’s fresh fruit and flower drinks: agua de jamaica made with hibiscus, horchata, tamarind and fruit waters. They’re a good alcohol-free choice for everyone. We serve soft drinks, horchata and alcohol-free drinks, which works well for garden parties and anniversaries and engagements.
For a country party near Bailey's Hard, a drinks bar in a garden or field sets the mood. Tell us about the ground, gates, power and water. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Should I do it 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.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
