Mexican bar hire in Burstow
About our Mexican bar hire in Burstow
Serving alcohol at events needs a licence: a premises licence at the venue, or a Temporary Event Notice. We talk licensing through with you before the day. For engagement celebrations and birthday parties, we can serve margaritas, horchata and agua de jamaica for your guests.
In a rural spot like Burstow, 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. We will check the licensing with you. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- A spot away from neighbours’ windows if the bar runs late
- Firm, level ground where we can set up
- Somewhere to park and unload nearby
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Burstow: your questions answered
Do you cater in villages like Burstow?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Bartholomew: can you cater afterwards?
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. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes. 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 spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you have a licence to sell alcohol?
It depends on the venue. If the venue has no licence, a Temporary Event Notice may be needed. We’ll go through the licensing with you.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What does Mexican bar hire cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.

How the day works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. A late-September party in Burstow loses the light at about 7:05pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. In late May, it stays light until about 8:50pm.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- We check the licensing 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.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Tell us when you want service to start
