About our Mexican bar hire in Grateley
Margaritas are the centrepiece: tequila, lime and orange liqueur over ice, with or without a salted rim. Popular choices include agua de jamaica, aguas frescas and horchata, and it is a good fit for end-of-year and Christmas parties and festivals and fairs.
For a country party near Grateley, a drinks bar in a garden or field sets the mood. Tell us about the ground, gates, power and water. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

Comparing your options
Leaving guests to bring their own is easy but unpredictable. A bar gives every guest a drink in hand, including non-drinkers. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.
Why book with us
- Options for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests
- Events in Grateley and across Hampshire

- Book food, drinks or both

Step by step
Here’s how the day normally runs: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. A late-September party in Grateley loses the light at about 7:10pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. 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 clear the bar at the end.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
