Mexican bar hire in Forge Wood, served fresh

We plan the drinks list together, around your guests, your venue and your timings. Share your ideas and we will suggest a menu. At company summer parties and garden parties, we can serve margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.

In Forge Wood, a drinks bar works at home or in a local hall. Aguas frescas and soft drinks cover guests who are not drinking alcohol. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

Step by step

We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. By late September, sunset in Forge Wood comes at roughly 7:05pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:50pm.

  1. First, we check your date.
  2. We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
  3. We agree where the bar goes.
  4. The bar opens at the agreed time.
  5. We tidy up at the end.

Getting ready for the day

  • Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
  • Tell us what power and water the site has
  • Share the running order, including any speeches

Before you choose a spot

Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:

  • Access to unload close to the bar spot
  • A clear area in front of the bar
  • A flat, firm spot for the bar

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

Comparing your options

A generic bar does the job, but margaritas and aguas frescas give the bar character. There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican bar hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

Common questions in Forge Wood

Is it possible to have you in Worth Park Gardens?

Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.

Which station should guests use for Forge Wood?

The closest is Three Bridges station, roughly 1.4 miles away.

How far ahead should we book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.

Is there a minimum number of guests?

Our truck and trailer service normally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we will advise.

Do you have gluten-free options?

We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.

Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?

We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.

Can you do dairy-free food?

We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.

Can you come to a private house?

Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.

DIY taco night versus a caterer

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. Read our guide to taco bars.

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
