About our Mexican bar hire in Hare Hatch
We set up the bar at events in and around Hare Hatch: from weddings and parties to work events. For summer garden parties and wedding receptions and evening parties, we will put together a menu of aguas frescas, agua de jamaica and Mexican beer and more.
Near Hare Hatch, a drinks bar suits gardens, barns and marquees, as long as we can get in. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
What’s on the menu
Horchata
A comforting alcohol-free drink.
Tamarind and fruit waters
Fruit waters are a fresh alcohol-free option.
Prices and what affects them
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Food, drinks or both
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Travel, parking and access
- Timings and hours
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.

- The venue or postcode
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Your menu ideas

Planning the bar
Some planning tips for the drinks:

DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.

Questions from Hare Hatch
Do you cater in villages like Hare Hatch?
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.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St James?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Do you come to Hare Hatch?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Hare Hatch and the rest of Wokingham. For a quote, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Do you bring staff to serve the drinks?
Our bar staff run the bar. Responsible serving comes first.
Do we need a licence for the bar?
You’ll need either the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We’ll talk licensing through with you. GOV.UK explains Temporary Event Notices.
Can we book the bar without food?
Yes. Book the bar on its own.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
