Mexican bar hire for your event in Ellisfield
Alcohol at an event needs the right licence: either the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We’ll go through the licensing with you. At wedding drinks receptions and milestone birthdays, we’ll put together a menu of soft drinks, aguas frescas and agua de jamaica.
In a rural spot like Ellisfield, drinks can be served from our truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, given access. We will check the licensing with you. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Step by step
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. At midsummer, it’s light in Ellisfield until about 9:25pm, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. By late September, sunset is about 7:10pm, and in December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting around the bar.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We talk through licensing with you.
- You choose the drinks with us.
- We serve drinks responsibly on the day.
- We clear the bar at the end.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and diets

DIY taco night versus a caterer
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, with allergen information for every dish.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
