- A premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice in place
- Somewhere to park and unload nearby
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

About our Mexican bar hire in Cumnor
Aguas frescas are Mexico’s fresh fruit and flower drinks: agua de jamaica made with hibiscus, horchata, tamarind and fruit waters. They’re a good alcohol-free choice for everyone. Popular choices include margaritas, horchata and alcohol-free drinks, which works well for work celebrations and winter celebrations.
In a rural spot like Cumnor, drinks can be served from our truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, given access. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Your questions about Mexican bar hire in Cumnor
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Michael?
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 will check the access.
How far is Cumnor from London?
About 56 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Do we need a licence for the bar?
That depends on your venue. If the venue has no licence, a Temporary Event Notice may be needed. We talk it through with you.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t generally stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Do you have alcohol-free drinks?
Every bar has alcohol-free choices, from aguas frescas to soft drinks.
Drinks planning tips
Some planning tips for the drinks:
- Plan alcohol-free drinks for drivers
- Give us numbers for children
- Ask guests about allergies
- Ask your venue about its licence early
We adapt if the timings shift.
Soft drinks for drivers.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
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.
