What Mexican bar hire costs

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • The number of people
  • Timings and hours
  • Parking and the route in
  • How many staff you need

Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.

  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • What power and water the site has
  • Approximate guest numbers, including children
  • How we drive in and where we can park

Send us the date, your venue or OX3 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just tell us about it on our contact page.

Mexican bar hire for your event in Headington

Aguas frescas are Mexico’s fresh fruit and flower drinks: hibiscus agua de jamaica, horchata, tamarind and fruit waters. They’re a good alcohol-free choice for everyone. It suits end-of-year and Christmas parties and garden parties, with horchata, margaritas and alcohol-free drinks.

In Headington, a drinks bar works at home or in a local hall, with access for the truck or trailer. Aguas frescas and soft drinks cover guests who aren’t drinking alcohol. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

  • Space for guests to queue at the bar
  • Access to unload close to the bar spot

Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Common questions in Headington

How far is Headington from London?

It’s about 51 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.

We’re having a ceremony at St Andrew's Church: can you cater afterwards?

Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.

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.

Can you serve in the rain?

Rain does not generally stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.

Do you have vegan options?

Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we’ll keep their options separate.

Do you have dairy-free options?

Yes. We offer dairy-free options.

Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?

Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.

Do you provide allergen information for each dish?

We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.

Tips for a smooth bar

Some planning tips for the drinks:

  • Share taxi numbers with guests
  • Make sure there’s water for guests
  • Give us numbers for children
  • Collect allergy details in advance

Bar staff serve for the agreed times, and keep the bar tidy.

Pair the bar with tacos, burritos and nachos.

DIY taco night or a caterer?

If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.

You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

The process

Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. Sunset in Headington is around 9:25pm in 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.

  1. We check availability.
  2. You get a suggested drinks list.
  3. We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
  4. The bar opens at the agreed time.
  5. We tidy up at the end.

Before we arrive

  • Measure any gates or arches on the way in
  • Confirm numbers and diets before the day
  • Share the running order, including any speeches
