Mexican bar hire in Chandler's Ford, from our truck or trailer
Margaritas are the centrepiece: lime, tequila and orange liqueur, served cold, with or without a salted rim. On the menu are soft drinks, alcohol-free drinks and margaritas, which works well for anniversaries and engagements and staff parties.
In a town like Chandler's Ford, a drinks bar suits garden parties, club and hall events, and receptions. The venue needs to allow us on site and have level ground. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day typically runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. A summer drinks reception in Chandler's Ford has daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer, ideal for drinks outdoors. By late September, sunset is about 7:10pm, and in December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting around the bar.

Chandler's Ford questions
What’s the nearest station to Chandler's Ford for guests?
Guests can use Chandlers Ford station, which is right in Chandler's Ford.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Boniface?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Who handles the licensing?
Alcohol at an event needs the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We will talk licensing through with you. See GOV.UK for Temporary Event Notices.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
