Mexican bar hire in Cowden, from our truck or trailer
Serving alcohol at events needs a licence: either the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We talk licensing through with you before the day. It suits themed celebrations and staff parties, with Mexican beer, horchata and soft drinks.
In a rural spot like Cowden, drinks can be served from our truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, as long as we can get in. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
What affects the price in Cowden
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, parking and access
- Serving staff
- Food, drinks or both
- Whether you need disposables
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The address or venue name
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of where we’d park
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you need. For a quote, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Step by step
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. A late-September party in Cowden loses the light at about 7:05pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. In late May, it stays light until about 8:50pm.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
- We put together a drinks menu, with alcohol-free choices, and quote for it.
- 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
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
