About our Mexican bar hire in Godalming
Add our food for tacos, burritos and nachos with the drinks, so food and drinks come from one booking. It suits wedding receptions and evening parties and client events and launches, with aguas frescas, margaritas and Mexican beer.
A drinks bar makes a party in Godalming easy and sociable. Let us know about access and power. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
What happens on the day
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. At midsummer, it is light in Godalming until about 9:20pm, ideal for drinks outdoors. In late September it is dark around 7:05pm, and in December by about 3:55pm, so evening bars need lighting.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We go through the 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.
Preparing for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Let us know the timings for the day

DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
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 be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.

Planning a drinks bar in Godalming
Godalming is about 5 miles south of Guildford, in Surrey. Wherever your event is in the GU7 area, we will come to your venue or site. We cover all 395 towns and villages across Surrey.
Once the ceremony at a church like St Edmund Church is over, guests may be glad of a cold drink at the reception venue. Historic houses near Godalming include Loseley Park (2.2 miles north) and Wanborough Manor (3.9 miles north-west). Grand houses and estates tend to have firm rules on alcohol and outside bars, so raise the drinks bar with them early. With the Surrey Hills National Landscape within about 7 miles, a countryside drinks reception is an option. Check how the venue handles outside bars and vehicles.
Mexican bar hire in GU7 and GU8 is planned around your venue and access and timings. From High Street, Station Road and Market Mews or a nearby road, we’ll plan where to park and serve. Godalming sits on or near the A3100 and B2130, so getting the truck or trailer to your event is simple.

Larger places within reach include Guildford (5 miles north), Woking (9 miles north), Camberley (11 miles north-west), Farnham (8 miles west), Dorking (13 miles east) and Frimley (10 miles north-west).

For event organisers in Godalming

Mexican bar hire or something else?
A standard bar is fine, but margaritas and aguas frescas give the bar character. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Godalming questions
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues 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.
We are having a ceremony at St Edmund Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you provide bar staff?
Bar staff are part of the service.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
What can we have at the bar?
Our bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
