How our Mexican bar hire works in Bonchurch
We set up the bar at events in and around Bonchurch: weddings, parties, staff events and festivals. We serve alcohol-free drinks, Mexican beer and agua de jamaica, which works well for company summer parties and client events and launches.
For a country party near Bonchurch, a drinks bar in a garden or field sets the mood. Let us know about access and soft ground. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
What happens on the day
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not usually stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. A summer drinks reception in Bonchurch has daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. In late September it’s dark around 7:10pm, and in December by about 4:00pm, so evening bars need lighting.

Common questions in Bonchurch
Which station should guests use for Bonchurch?
Shanklin station, about 2.4 miles north of the centre.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Old St. Boniface Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
What can we have at the bar?
Our bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
Where the truck can go in Bonchurch
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- A spot away from neighbours’ windows if the bar runs late
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Level, firm ground for the bar set-up
For somewhere as remote as Bonchurch, early notice helps us plan the trip, the route in and power.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
