Mexican bar hire in Downe
How the day works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. A summer drinks reception in Downe has daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. In late September it is dark around 7:05pm, and in December by about 3:55pm, so evening bars need lighting.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
- We talk licensing through with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- We put together a drinks menu, with alcohol-free choices, and quote for it.
- We arrive, set up and serve margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
- We pack away when the bar shuts and leave the area tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
How to get a price
