Mexican bar hire near Highsted
Is Mexican bar hire right for your event?
Non-drinkers often get only soft drinks. Aguas frescas give them something special. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Why book with us
- Served fresh from our food truck or trailer
- A clear quote
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Fast service, even with a queue

About our Mexican bar hire in Highsted
Serving alcohol at events needs a licence: either the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We will go through the licensing with you. It suits engagement and anniversary parties and garden parties, serving agua de jamaica, margaritas and Mexican beer.
In a rural spot like Highsted, drinks can be served from our food truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, as long as we can get in. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
What’s on the menu
Horchata
Cinnamon-spiced rice drink, served cold.
Margaritas
Margaritas suit a summer evening.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
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’ll follow them.
Events we cater in Highsted
Tacos and margaritas belong together, so the bar suits a Mexican menu.
