Mexican bar hire in Borden, served fresh
We plan the drinks list together, to suit your guests and timings. Share your ideas and we’ll suggest a menu. At anniversaries and engagements and licensed festivals, we’ll put together a menu of Mexican beer, aguas frescas and margaritas and more.
Near Borden, a drinks bar suits gardens, barns and marquees, as long as we can get in. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.
Tips for a smooth bar
Some planning tips for the drinks:
- Serve food alongside the drinks
- Ensure there is water for guests
- Agree bar timings in advance
- Share taxi numbers with guests
Responsible serving comes first: under-18s are not served alcohol, and nor is anyone who has had too much.
Margaritas for the drinks reception.

Questions from Borden
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the South Downs 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.
Which station should guests use for Borden?
Guests can use Liss station, about 3.6 miles north-west of Borden.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Do we need a licence for the bar?
That depends on your venue. Some venues have a premises licence; others need a Temporary Event Notice. We talk it through with you.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.

How it works
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. At midsummer, it’s light in Borden until about 9:20pm, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. In late September it is dark around 7:05pm, and in December by about 4:00pm, so evening bars need lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- We talk licensing through with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- We put together a drinks menu, with alcohol-free choices, and quote for it.
- We arrive, set up and serve margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
- When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

Mexican bar hire or something else?
Leaving guests to bring their own is easy but unpredictable. A staffed bar means everyone is served. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
