Mexican bar hire for your event in Elmfield
Our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, served by our bar staff. It works on its own or alongside our food. At anniversaries and engagements and garden parties, we can serve aguas frescas, Mexican beer and soft drinks.
In Elmfield, a drinks bar works at home or in a local hall, with access for the truck or trailer. Alcohol-free drinks such as aguas frescas can be part of the menu. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

The process
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we have agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. In December, the light goes in Elmfield at about 4:00pm, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We talk through licensing with you.
- You choose the drinks with us.
- Our bar staff serve your guests at the agreed times.
- We pack down when the bar closes.
Before we arrive

Questions from Elmfield
Which station should guests use for Elmfield?
Elmfield has its own station: Ryde St Johns Road station.
Can you serve near the sea around Elmfield?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots generally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Who handles the licensing?
Alcohol at an event needs the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We talk licensing through with you before the day. See GOV.UK for Temporary Event Notices.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Can we book the bar without food?
Yes, though it pairs well with tacos. Ask about adding tacos and burritos.

Drinks planning tips
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Let us know how many non-drinkers to expect
- Include aguas frescas for non-drinkers
- Ask your venue about its licence early
- Plan any Temporary Event Notice well ahead
We serve responsibly: no alcohol for under-18s, and we may refuse service to anyone who has had too much.

We cater in all 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Elmfield to Southampton (17 miles away).
Guests travelling by rail: Elmfield has its own station, Ryde St Johns Road station. Once the ceremony at a church like St John's Church is over, guests may be glad of a cold drink at the reception venue. The coast is within about a mile of Elmfield. Wind, sand and the rules on alcohol in public places all need planning for a seaside bar.

Space, access and the venue
If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Space for guests to queue at the bar
- Level, firm ground for the bar set-up
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
Out-of-the-way places like Elmfield take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
