Mexican bar hire in California
Mexican bar hire in California, from our truck or trailer

Near California, a drinks bar suits a garden, barn or field party. Tell us about the ground, gates, power and water. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
How it works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. Winter receptions in California are dark by about 3:55pm in December, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. Midsummer is the opposite, with daylight until about 9:25pm.
- First, we check your date.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We tidy up at the end.
Preparing for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Tell us what power and water the site has

Planning help
Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.

Common questions in California
We are having a ceremony at Church of St James: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Which station should guests use for California?
Crowthorne station, about 2.4 miles east of the centre.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.
Who handles the licensing?
That depends on your venue. If the venue has no licence, a Temporary Event Notice may be needed. We talk it through with you.
Can we have the bar on its own?
Yes. Book the bar on its own.
How much is the bar?
We quote for each event, based on numbers, drinks and hours. For a price, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
What Mexican bar hire costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- What’s on the menu
- How many guests we are serving
- What the venue already provides
- How many staff you need
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- What you’d like on the menu
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Your date and when you want service to start

Working with your venue

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.
Before you choose a spot
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- A bar spot away from homes
- Access to unload close to the bar spot
- Level, firm ground for the bar set-up
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
