How the day works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. A late-September party in Forton loses the light at about 7:10pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:55pm.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We talk through licensing with you.
- We agree a drinks menu.
- Our bar staff serve your guests at the agreed times.
- We pack down when the bar closes.
How to prepare
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve

Tips for a smooth bar
A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:
- Ensure there’s water for guests
- Ask your venue about its licence early
- Include aguas frescas for non-drinkers
- Give us numbers for children
Responsible serving comes first: under-18s are not served alcohol, and nor is anyone who has had too much.
Aguas frescas for children and non-drinkers.
Planning a drinks bar in Forton
Forton is about 1 mile south-east of Gosport, in Hampshire. Give us the address of your event in Forton, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up. We serve in 683 places in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 14 miles away.
Older venues around Forton may restrict vehicles and outside drinks service, so confirm what’s allowed before booking. If the service is at a church such as St John the Evangelist, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. The coast is within about 3 miles of Forton. Wind, sand and the rules on alcohol in public places all need planning for a seaside bar.

Streets in the area include Lee Road, Ford Road and Lees Lane, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby.

Forton questions
Do you cater at coastal events near Forton?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades generally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
We’re having a ceremony at St John the Evangelist: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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.
Can you do gluten-free food?
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.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you come to Forton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Forton is within our area and the rest of Hampshire. For a quote, tell us about it on our contact page.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
What does a Mexican bar cost?
We quote for each event, depending on guests, drinks and timings. Contact us for a quote.
