Mexican bar hire in Hale, from our truck or trailer

Near Hale, a drinks bar suits a garden, barn or field party. Tell us about the ground, gates, power and water. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Planning drinks for every guest
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Let us know how many non-drinkers to expect
- Ask your venue about its licence early
- Agree bar timings in advance
- Share taxi numbers with guests
We set up the bar before guests arrive, so drinks are ready when you are.
Add our Mexican catering for tacos, burritos and nachos.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
How it works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. Evening drinks in Hale stay light until about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so a summer drinks bar can run into the evening in daylight. For a bar running past dusk, ask the venue about outdoor lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- We talk through licensing with you, whether that’s the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- We suggest a drinks list and send a quote.
- We arrive, set up and serve margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
- We pack away when the bar shuts and leave the area tidy.
Before we arrive
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Ask the venue about power and water

Hale questions
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Weybourne LNR?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
We’re having a ceremony at The Church of St John the Evangelist: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you have a licence to sell alcohol?
Alcohol at an event needs the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We will go through the licensing with you. GOV.UK explains Temporary Event Notices.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space.
What’s on the drinks menu?
Our bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata, plus alcohol-free choices.
Is there something for non-drinkers?
Yes. Aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata are alcohol-free, along with soft drinks.
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 do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
How we price Mexican bar hire
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How many guests we are serving
- Travel, parking and access
- Whether you need disposables
- Timings and hours
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
