Mexican bar hire near Donnington
Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
About our Mexican bar hire in Donnington
A Mexican drinks bar brings margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas to your event, with bar staff to serve your guests. You can book it alone or with our Mexican catering. Popular choices include Mexican beer, agua de jamaica and horchata, which works well for weddings, day or evening and product launches and client events.
In a rural spot like Donnington, 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. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Other catering in Donnington
Organising for someone else?
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. A late-September party in Donnington loses the light at about 7:05pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:50pm.

Can you serve near the sea around Donnington?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Can you do gluten-free food?

Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll recommend how to serve.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
