Tips for a smooth bar
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Share taxi numbers with guests

More bar staff for larger crowds, quoted for your event.
Planning the serving area
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- Firm, level ground where we can set up
- Space for guests to queue at the bar
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Mexican beer
- Horchata
- Agua de jamaica (hibiscus)
- Margaritas
- Soft drinks
- Fruit aguas frescas
Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Coldharbour: venues, access and licensing
Coldharbour is about 4 miles south of Dorking, in Surrey. Events in Coldharbour are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. Coldharbour is one of 395 places in Surrey we cover. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 10 miles away.
A gathering in Wotton and Abinger Commons? Check the park’s rules first, as alcohol and vehicles generally need permission. If the service is at a church such as Christ Church, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. With the Surrey Hills National Landscape within about a mile, a countryside drinks reception is an option. Check how the venue handles outside bars and vehicles.
