Mexican bar hire in Harestock
The process
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. By late September, sunset in Harestock comes at roughly 7:10pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:55pm.
- 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.
- We suggest a drinks list and send a quote.
- On the day, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
- After service, we clear the bar away.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

Common questions in Harestock
Is Harestock close to London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
We are having a ceremony at Saint Barnabas: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Who handles the licensing?
That depends on your venue. Some venues have a premises licence; others need a Temporary Event Notice. We will go through the licensing with you.
When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
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.
Can we book the bar without food?
You can. Book the bar on its own.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a quote.

You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
