Mexican bar hire near Darland
Mexican bar hire in Darland, served fresh
Margaritas are the centrepiece: lime, tequila and orange liqueur, served cold. At festivals and fairs and weddings, day or evening, we can serve aguas frescas, soft drinks and Mexican beer and more.
Near Darland, a drinks bar suits gardens, barns and marquees, given access. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
