- We talk through licensing with you, whether that’s the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.

How we price Mexican bar hire
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Whether you need disposables
- Timings and hours
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- The number of people
There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican bar hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of where we’d park
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Roughly how many adults and children
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. When you are ready, tell us about it on our contact page.
Planning the bar
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Share bar opening times
- Tell us how many guests are under 18
- Plan transport home for guests
- Ensure there is water for guests
We serve responsibly: under-18s aren’t served alcohol, and nor is anyone who has had too much.
Margaritas for the drinks reception, licensing permitting.
Can I do a taco night myself?
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. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
What’s on the menu
Tamarind and fruit waters
A light drink for hot days.
Margaritas
The margarita is the heart of a Mexican bar.
