Your questions about Mexican bar hire in East Cowes
Could you come to a seaside event near East Cowes?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St James's Church?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
How many guests can you serve?
Our truck and trailer service usually suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
What’s on the drinks menu?
Margaritas and Mexican beer, with aguas frescas like horchata and agua de jamaica, plus alcohol-free choices.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. We offer dairy-free options, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Planning drinks for every guest
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Check allergies with guests, including for drinks
- Share taxi numbers with guests
- Make sure there’s water for guests
- Tell us how many guests are under 18
Alcohol-free drinks are always available, including aguas frescas.
Add our Mexican catering for tacos, burritos and nachos.
What Mexican bar hire costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Timings and hours
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Guest numbers
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
What happens on the day
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. Sunset in East Cowes is around 9:20pm in June, which suits an outdoor bar. String lights or lanterns near the hatch make a later bar easier to find.
- Send us your date, venue, numbers and drinks ideas.
- We talk through licensing with you, whether that’s the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- 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.
- We pack away when the bar shuts and leave the area tidy.
Before we arrive
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
