How we price Mexican bar hire
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Whether you need disposables
- How many guests we’re serving
- Distance and access to the venue
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- The date and rough timings
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we’ll suggest a menu. To start, use our quote form.
The process
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not typically stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Winter receptions in Donnington are dark by about 3:55pm in December, so plan where guests will gather, and how it will be lit. Midsummer is the opposite, with daylight until about 9:25pm.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
Ask for a quote
We quote for each event separately, based on what you need. For a quote, send a quick message through our quote form.
