FAQs for Hamstead
Do you come out to small places like Hamstead?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Could you come to a seaside event near Hamstead?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots usually need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll suggest mild options.
What drinks do you serve?
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, plus soft drinks. We plan the list with you.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food.

A Mexican drinks bar in Hamstead: local tips
Hamstead is about 6 miles south-east of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. We serve at events in homes, gardens and venues in Hamstead and nearby villages. Hamstead is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight where we can bring Mexican bar hire. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Hamstead to Southampton (14 miles away).
Anyone leaving the car at home will want to know that the nearest station is Lymington Pier station, about 4.9 miles north-west. If you are looking at a historic venue around Hamstead, check its rules on outside bars and vehicles early. Drinks by the sea could work, as Hamstead is within about 5 miles of the coast. Licensing on the seafront needs checking, and we will do that with you.
Anywhere in PO41, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Cranmore (1 mile south-west), Shalfleet (1 mile south-east), Bouldnor (2 miles south-west), Yarmouth (3 miles west) and Thorns Beach (3 miles north). Further out, we also cater in Newport (6 miles east), Ryde (12 miles east), Cowes (6 miles north-east), Sandown (13 miles east), Shanklin (13 miles south-east) and Ventnor (13 miles south-east). If your event is somewhere remote, let us know early and we will plan the trip and the route in for the truck or trailer.
A little further out are Yarmouth Castle (2.9 miles west) and St Mary's Hospital (5.9 miles east). Not far away are Compton Down and Boldre Foreshore.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
The process
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. At midsummer, it’s light in Hamstead until about 9:20pm, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. In late September it’s dark around 7:10pm, and in December by about 4:00pm, so evening bars need lighting.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
- We talk through licensing with you, whether that is the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- You get a suggested drinks menu and a quote.
- On the day we set up the bar and our bar staff serve your guests.

What else we do in Hamstead
Planning the serving area
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- A premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice in place
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A spot away from neighbours’ windows if the bar runs late
For somewhere as remote as Hamstead, early notice helps us plan the trip, the route in and power.
