Mexican bar hire near Dibden
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

Mexican bar hire in Dibden, served fresh
Serving alcohol at events needs a licence: either the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We go through the licensing with you before the day. At end-of-year and Christmas parties and taco nights and themed parties, we will put together a menu of soft drinks, alcohol-free drinks and agua de jamaica.
A drinks bar makes a party in Dibden easy and sociable. Tell us about the drive, gates and power. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer.
Why choose Mexican bar hire in Dibden?
Leaving guests to bring their own is easy but unpredictable. A staffed bar means everyone is served, including non-drinkers. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
Why us?
- Menus for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Access, space and power checked in advance

FAQs for Dibden
Do you come to events in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
We are having a ceremony at Church of All Saints: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will talk licensing through with you.
What does a Mexican bar cost?
There is no fixed price list, as each event is different. Send your details for a quote.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Can children have drinks from the bar?
There are always alcohol-free options, from aguas frescas to soft drinks.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a picture and we’ll talk it through.
