A Mexican drinks bar in Charlton-on-Otmoor: local tips
Charlton-on-Otmoor is about 5 miles south of Bicester, in Oxfordshire. From the centre of Charlton-on-Otmoor to the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Charlton-on-Otmoor is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire where we can bring Mexican bar hire. You can also see our page for Oxford, about 6 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Boarstall Tower (4 miles east). Before booking a historic venue, find out whether it lets an outside bar bring a vehicle on site. A drinks bar at a garden or hall near a church like Church of St Mary the Virgin gives guests something to enjoy while photos are taken.
We serve at events all over OX5. Streets in the area include High Street, Blacksmiths Lane and Church Lane, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. If your venue is just outside Charlton-on-Otmoor, we also cover Fencott (1 mile east), Murcott (1 mile east), Merton (1 mile north-east), Wendlebury (2 miles north) and Horton-cum-Studley (3 miles south-east). We also cater in nearby towns such as Oxford (6 miles south), Bicester (5 miles north), Abingdon-on-Thames (12 miles south), Witney (13 miles west), Thame (11 miles south-east) and Kidlington (4 miles west).

A closer look at the menu
Mexican beer
Mexican beer is light and refreshing.
Tamarind and fruit waters
Fruit waters are a fresh alcohol-free option.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
What Mexican bar hire costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Guest numbers
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Questions from Charlton-on-Otmoor
Will you travel to a small place like Charlton-on-Otmoor?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
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.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
Do you check ages at the bar?
Always. No alcohol is served to under-18s, and we may refuse service to anyone who has had too much.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. Find your area.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
What can we have at the bar?
Margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. The drinks list is agreed with you.
What happens on the day
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. In December, the light goes in Charlton-on-Otmoor at about 3:55pm, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. Midsummer is the opposite, with daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
