Mexican bar hire for Compton events
Questions from Compton
Do you cater in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
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.
What does a Mexican bar cost?
Every bar is quoted for individually, based on numbers, drinks and hours. For a price, use our quote form.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Who handles the licensing?
It depends on the venue. Some venues have a premises licence; others need a Temporary Event Notice. We’ll talk licensing through with you.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will recommend how to serve.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
How our Mexican bar hire works in Compton
Alcohol at an event needs the right licence: either the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We will go through the licensing with you. At winter celebrations and milestone birthdays, we’ll put together a menu of alcohol-free drinks, soft drinks and margaritas and more.
Near Compton, a drinks bar suits gardens, barns and marquees, given access. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Planning the bar
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Serve food alongside the drinks
- Ask guests about allergies
- Think about how guests get home
- Tell us when the bar should open and close
We serve responsibly: under-18s aren’t served alcohol, and nor is anyone who has had too much.
Add our Mexican catering for tacos, burritos and nachos.
Organising for someone else?
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

The process
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. At midsummer, it’s light in Compton until about 9:20pm, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. In late September it’s dark around 7:05pm, and in December by about 3:55pm, so evening bars need lighting.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We check the licensing with you.
- We agree a drinks menu.
- Our bar staff serve your guests at the agreed times.
- We clear the bar at the end.
Before we arrive
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Find out what power and water are available
How to get a price
The quickest way to a quote is to tell us about it on our contact page. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll put together a menu and price.
Planning help
Planning a drinks bar in Compton
Compton is about 3 miles south-west of Guildford, in Surrey. We serve at events in gardens, halls and venues around Compton and the surrounding area. Compton is one of 395 places in Surrey where we can bring Mexican bar hire.
If the service is at a church such as Church of St Nicholas, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. Older venues around Compton may restrict vehicles and outside drinks service, so confirm what’s allowed before you book. Compton is within about 8 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, a lovely setting for drinks outdoors. Ask your venue about vehicle access for the truck or trailer.
We cover events in every part of GU3. We can cater an event on streets such as The Street, Spiceall and Almsgate or the roads around them. Nearby, we also cater events in Hurtmore (1 mile south), Binscombe (1 mile south-east), Littleton (1 mile east), Shackleford (2 miles south-west) and Onslow Village (2 miles north-east). We also cater in nearby towns such as Guildford (3 miles north-east), Woking (7 miles north), Camberley (9 miles north-west), Farnham (7 miles west), Egham (15 miles north) and Walton-on-Thames (15 miles north-east).
A little further out are Charterhouse School Museum (1.2 miles south) and Guildford Castle (2.8 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Farncombe Wood and Frith Hill.
- Nearby schools include Prior's Field School (1 mile west) and Broadwater School (1.8 miles south-east)
- Nearby, you’ll find The Harrow pub (less than half a mile west)
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
How we price Mexican bar hire
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- Serving staff
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- The number of people
- What’s on the menu
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Expected numbers
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Your menu ideas
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Is Mexican bar hire right for your event?
A self-service drinks table is simple but can run dry or go warm. Bar staff keep drinks flowing and cold. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.
What you get with us
- A menu agreed with you
- Book food, drinks or both
- Allergen information for everything we serve
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
Read our prices page and our guide to catering costs.
