Which station should guests use for Gatton?
Merstham station, about 1 mile east of the centre.
Do you come to events in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Will someone run the bar?
Our bar staff run the bar. They serve responsibly.
Do you come to Gatton?

What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Do you do drinks only?
Yes, though it pairs well with tacos. Our Mexican catering can be added too.
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do we need a licence for the bar?
You will need either the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We will talk licensing through with you. See GOV.UK for Temporary Event Notices.
About our Mexican bar hire in Gatton
A Mexican drinks bar brings margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas to your event, served by our bar staff. You can book it alone or with our Mexican catering. It suits anniversaries and engagements and milestone birthdays, serving margaritas, agua de jamaica and Mexican beer.
In a rural spot like Gatton, drinks can be served from our food truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, given access. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
The process
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. By late September, sunset in Gatton 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.
- We check availability.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
Ask for a quote
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send you a clear quote and a suggested menu.

What we need at the venue

- Vehicle access near the bar
- A flat, firm spot for the bar
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
