Mexican bar hire in Chaldon, served fresh
The margarita is the star of the bar: tequila, lime and orange liqueur over ice. On the menu are aguas frescas, alcohol-free drinks and horchata, and it is a good fit for end-of-year parties and work celebrations.
In a rural spot like Chaldon, drinks can be served from our food truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, given access. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.
What happens on the day
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure. Evening drinks in Chaldon stay light until about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, which suits an outdoor bar. For a bar running past dusk, ask the venue about outdoor lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
- 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.
- After service, we clear the bar away.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
