In a rural spot like Blackwater, drinks can be served from our food truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, as long as we can get in. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Drinks receptions around Blackwater
Blackwater is about 2 miles south of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Wherever your event is in the PO30 area, we can serve your guests, as long as there is access. We cover all 125 towns and villages across the Isle of Wight. We cater right across the region, from Blackwater to Southampton (about 17 miles away).
Older venues around Blackwater may restrict vehicles and outside drinks service, so confirm what’s allowed before you book. If the service is at a church such as St. Olave's Church, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. Drinks by the sea could work, as Blackwater is within about 6 miles of the coast. Licensing on the seafront needs checking, and we’ll do that with you.
Wherever your event is in PO30, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. Whether your event is on Sandy Lane, Sandy Close and Blackwater Hollow or a nearby road, we can bring Mexican bar hire there, given access. For events just outside Blackwater, we cover Shide (1 mile north), Rookley (1 mile south), Merstone (2 miles south-east), Newport (2 miles north) and Rookley Green (2 miles south). Further out, we also cater in Ryde (6 miles north-east), Cowes (6 miles north), Sandown (6 miles east), Shanklin (6 miles south-east), Ventnor (6 miles south-east) and East Cowes (5 miles north). Remote venues take a little more planning, so ask early about your event.

Your questions about Mexican bar hire in Blackwater
Do you cater at coastal events near Blackwater?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St. Olave's Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll talk it through.
Will someone run the bar?
Bar staff are part of the service, and serve throughout the agreed hours.
Organising for someone else?
Organising a club, school or community event in Blackwater? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. In December, the light goes in Blackwater 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.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- We go through the licensing with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- You get a suggested drinks menu and a quote.
- On the day we set up the bar and our bar staff serve your guests.
- We pack away when the bar shuts and leave the area tidy.
Before we arrive
- Find out what power and water are available
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve

How we price Mexican bar hire
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Parking and the route in
- The menu you choose

- Whether you need disposables
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.

- Your menu ideas
- How we drive in and where we can park

- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just fill in our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- A premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice in place
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- Agreement from the venue for our bar
For somewhere as remote as Blackwater, early notice helps us plan the trip, the route in and power.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
