A Mexican drinks bar in Highfield: local tips
Highfield is about 1 mile north of Southampton, in Southampton. Wherever your event is in the SO17 area, we can serve your guests, as long as there is access. We cater in all 40 towns and villages in Southampton, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
Parks such as Southampton Common have their own rules on vehicles and alcohol, so check before planning a drinks bar there. Anyone leaving the car at home will want to know that the nearest station is St Denys station, about 0.8 miles south-east. Drinks by the sea could work, as Highfield is within about 3 miles of the coast. Licensing on the seafront needs checking, and we will do that with you.
Here we cover the SO17, SO16 and SO14 postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. From Winn Road, Nile Road and The Avenue or a nearby road, we can bring Mexican bar hire there, given access. With the A3035 close by, Highfield is easy for us to reach for your event. For events just outside Highfield, we cover Bassett (1 mile north-west), Shirley (2 miles west), Lordswood (2 miles north-west), Freemantle (2 miles south-west) and Coxford (2 miles west). Further out, we also cater in Thornhill (3 miles south-east), Harefield (3 miles east), Sholing (3 miles south-east), Woolston (3 miles south), Eling (4 miles west) and Rownhams (3 miles north-west).
Other landmarks nearby include Royal South Hants Hospital (1.2 miles south) and Marlands Shopping Centre (1.7 miles south). The countryside around Highfield includes Netley Common.
- Schools near Highfield include Richard Taunton Sixth Form College (0.8 miles west) and Saint George Catholic Voluntary Aided College Southampton (1.4 miles north-east)
- Local pubs include The Cowherds Inn (0.5 miles south-west)
How our Mexican bar hire works in Highfield
Margaritas are the centrepiece: tequila, lime and orange liqueur over ice. At anniversaries and engagements and garden get-togethers, we will put together a menu of aguas frescas, agua de jamaica and soft drinks for your guests.
For a party in a place like Highfield, a drinks bar is easy and sociable. Tell us about the drive, gates and power. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Organising for someone else?
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Details of power and water on site
- The right licence for alcohol: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice
- Somewhere to park and unload nearby
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
Menu ideas
- Margaritas
- Horchata
- Mexican beer
- Soft drinks
- Agua de jamaica (hibiscus)
- Fruit aguas frescas
What’s on the menu
Tamarind and fruit waters
Fruit waters are a fresh alcohol-free option.
Soft drinks
There is always something alcohol-free.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

How the day works
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. In December, the light goes in Highfield at about 4:00pm, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:25pm.
- First, we check your date.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

Highfield questions
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Southampton Common?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Which station is closest to Highfield?
Guests can use St Denys station, about 0.8 miles south-east of Highfield.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What does Mexican bar hire cost?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a quote.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, Southampton included. See all areas.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How many staff you need
- The number of people
- Your choice of food and drinks
- The length of service
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- How we drive in and where we can park
- What you’d like on the menu
