Mexican bar hire for Cheriton events
How our Mexican bar hire works in Cheriton
Soft drinks and alcohol-free choices are always part of the bar, for drivers, children and anyone not drinking. We serve soft drinks, agua de jamaica and Mexican beer, and it is a good fit for garden parties and end-of-year and Christmas parties.
For a country party near Cheriton, a drinks bar in a garden or field sets the mood. Tell us about the ground, gates, power and water. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Food, drinks or both
- Guest numbers
- Distance and access to the venue
- What’s on the menu
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and time of the event
- What power and water the site has
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you will get menu ideas and a price. Just use our quote form.
Comparing your options
Non-drinkers often get only soft drinks. Our aguas frescas are made for them. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
Why us?
- Quoted for your event
- Fast service, even with a queue
- Options for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.

The process
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our truck or trailer, and get on with serving. Evening drinks in Cheriton stay light until about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm 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.
- We go through the licensing with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- We suggest a drinks list and send a quote.
- On the day, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
- We pack away when the bar shuts and leave the area tidy.

Questions from Cheriton
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Michael: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Do you cater in villages like Cheriton?
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.
Do we need a licence for the bar?
You will need either the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We’ll check the licensing with you. GOV.UK explains Temporary Event Notices.
Do you bring staff to serve the drinks?
Yes, our bar staff serve your guests. Responsible serving comes first.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll talk it through.
What can we have at the bar?
Our bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata, plus alcohol-free choices.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
