Mexican bar hire in Forestside, from our truck or trailer
Our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with bar staff to serve your guests. It works on its own or alongside our food. For birthday parties and engagement and anniversary parties, we can serve soft drinks, aguas frescas and horchata for your guests.
Near Forestside, a drinks bar suits gardens, barns and marquees, as long as we can get in. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Is Mexican bar hire right for your event?
DIY drinks tables are easy but need constant topping up. A staffed bar keeps everything under control. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.

Questions from Forestside
Could you serve our guests after a service at Christ Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Is it possible to have you in Stansted Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Can children have drinks from the bar?
Always. Aguas frescas and soft drinks are alcohol-free.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so contact us early.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Do you bring staff to serve the drinks?
Bar staff are part of the service, and serve throughout the agreed hours.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
What happens on the day
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a photo of the space if you’re unsure. Winter receptions in Forestside are dark by about 4:00pm in December, so plan where guests will gather, and how it will be lit. Midsummer is the opposite, with daylight until about 9:20pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We tidy up at the end.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
