Mexican bar hire for Cold Harbour events
The process
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, planned around your event. Sunset in Cold Harbour is around 9:15pm in 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 talk through licensing with you, whether that’s the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- You get a suggested drinks menu and a quote.
- On the day we set up the bar and our bar staff serve your guests.
- When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
Getting a price
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we’ll suggest a menu. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.

How our Mexican bar hire works in Cold Harbour
A Mexican drinks bar brings margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas to your event, with bar staff to serve your guests. You can book it alone or with our Mexican catering. We serve margaritas, horchata and soft drinks, which works well for winter celebrations and wedding receptions and evening parties.
In a rural spot like Cold Harbour, drinks can be served from our truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, as long as we can get in. We’ll check the licensing with you. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
What Mexican bar hire costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Timings and hours
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Travel, parking and access
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Where the event is
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.

Questions from Cold Harbour
Is Cold Harbour close to London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London.
Is it possible to have you in Spuckles and Kennelling Woods?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
Do you have a licence to sell alcohol?
That depends on your venue. If the venue has no licence, a Temporary Event Notice may be needed. We will go through the licensing with you.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can we book the bar without food?
You can. Book the bar on its own, or with our Mexican catering.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
