Step by step
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. By late September, sunset in Carisbrooke comes at roughly 7:10pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:55pm.
- We check availability.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

Carisbrooke: venues, access and licensing
Carisbrooke is about 1 mile south-west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Give us the address of your event in Carisbrooke, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up. Carisbrooke is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight where we can bring Mexican bar hire. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Carisbrooke to Southampton (about 16 miles away).
Parks such as Seaclose Park have their own rules on vehicles and alcohol, so check before planning a drinks bar there. A drinks bar at a garden or hall near a church like St. Mary's Church gives guests something to enjoy while photos are taken. The coast is within about 5 miles of Carisbrooke. Wind, sand and the rules on alcohol in public places all need planning for a seaside bar.
Here we cover the PO30 postcode area, so your event can be anywhere in it. Whether your event is on Down Lane, Purdy Road and Castle Lane or a nearby road, we’ll plan where to park and serve. If your venue is just outside Carisbrooke, we also cover Clatterford (1 mile south), Gunville (1 mile north), Plaish (1 mile south-west), Bowcombe (1 mile south-west) and Gatcombe (2 miles south). Larger places within reach include Ryde (7 miles east), Cowes (5 miles north), Sandown (7 miles east), Shanklin (7 miles south-east), Ventnor (8 miles south-east) and East Cowes (5 miles north). For an event at a remote venue, tell us early so we can plan the journey, access and power.
Well-known places in the area include Isle of Wight Music Museum (1.1 miles north-east) and Carisbrooke Castle (under half a mile south-east). Green spaces nearby include Briddlesford Nature Reserve and Brighstone Down.
- Local schools include Christ The King College (under half a mile north-east) and Island Innovation VI Form Campus (1.1 miles east)
- Pubs nearby include The Waverley pub (less than half a mile east)
Carisbrooke: your questions answered
Can you serve near the sea around Carisbrooke?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades generally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St. Mary's 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.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
How much does the drinks bar cost?
Every bar is quoted for individually, depending on guests, drinks and timings. For a price, fill in our quote form.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can you keep it mild?
That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you provide bar staff?
We bring bar staff.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.

Drinks planning tips
Some planning tips for the drinks:
- Plan water alongside the bar
- Check how alcohol will be licensed at your venue
- Allow time for a Temporary Event Notice if one is needed
- Add food if the bar runs for a while
We can give allergen information for every drink, so guests can check before ordering.
Aguas frescas for children and non-drinkers.
Before you choose a spot
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- A clear area in front of the bar
- A flat, firm spot for the bar
Out-of-the-way places like Carisbrooke take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
