How our Mexican bar hire works in Broadwater Down
Alcohol at an event needs the right licence: a premises licence at the venue, or a Temporary Event Notice. We talk licensing through with you before the day. It works well for wedding drinks receptions and fairs and community events, serving soft drinks, Mexican beer and alcohol-free drinks.
In Broadwater Down, a drinks bar works at home or in a local hall. Aguas frescas and soft drinks cover guests who aren’t drinking alcohol. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- What’s on the menu
- How long we’re needed on site
- How many staff you need
- Whether you need disposables
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican bar hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Details that help
These details help us quote quickly:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Your date and when you want service to start
- What you’d like on the menu
- The venue or postcode
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll send you a clear quote.
Where the truck can go in Broadwater Down

- A clear area in front of the bar

- Licensing checked with you before the day
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

Drinks planning tips
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Give the council notice in good time for a Temporary Event Notice
- Give us numbers for children
- Add food if the bar runs for a while
- Check allergies with guests, including for drinks
We serve responsibly: under-18s are not served alcohol, and nor is anyone who has had too much.
A choice of soft drinks.
The process
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. A summer drinks reception in Broadwater Down has daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, ideal for drinks outdoors. In late September it’s dark around 7:00pm, and in December by about 3:55pm, so evening bars need lighting.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
- 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.
- When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Give us a contact for the day

FAQs for Broadwater Down
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Mark's Church?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
How far is Broadwater Down from central London?
It is about 30 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you check ages at the bar?
Responsible serving comes first: under-18s get alcohol-free drinks only, with water and alcohol-free choices on hand.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll suggest mild options.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
