Mexican bar hire near Grafham
Mexican bar hire for your event in Grafham
Aguas frescas are light, fruity drinks: hibiscus agua de jamaica, horchata, tamarind and fruit waters. They’re alcohol-free, so every guest can enjoy them. At birthday parties and product launches and client events, we can serve Mexican beer, aguas frescas and horchata.
In a rural spot like Grafham, drinks can be served from our truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, given access. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Common questions in Grafham
How far is Grafham from central London?
It is about 30 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you cater in villages like Grafham?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
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.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Drinks planning tips
A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:
- Tell us how many guests are under 18
- Check how alcohol will be licensed at your venue
- Include aguas frescas for non-drinkers
- Add food if the bar runs for a while
There are always alcohol-free options.
Alcohol-free aguas frescas for all ages.
How the day works
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Evening drinks in Grafham stay light until about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, which suits an outdoor bar. For a bar running past dusk, ask the venue about outdoor lighting.
- Send us your date, venue, numbers and drinks ideas.
- We check the licensing with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- You get a suggested drinks menu and a quote.
- On the day, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
- We pack away when the bar shuts and leave the area tidy.
Before we arrive
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
