DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.

The process
We work to your timings. If things run behind, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. A summer drinks reception in Hillgrove has daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, ideal for drinks outdoors. In late September it is dark around 7:10pm, and in December by about 4:00pm, so evening bars need lighting.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
Getting a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- A premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice in place
- Details of power and water on site
For somewhere as remote as Hillgrove, early notice helps us plan the trip, the route in and power.

Questions from Hillgrove
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Seaclose Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Do you cater in villages like Hillgrove?
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.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service normally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Do you cater in Hillgrove?
Yes, we do. Hillgrove is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you provide bar staff?
Yes, our bar staff serve your guests. They serve responsibly.

Yes. The bar can be booked on its own.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.

Hillgrove is about 2 miles north-east of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. We serve at events in homes, gardens and venues in Hillgrove. Hillgrove is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight where we can bring Mexican bar hire. You can also see our page for Portsmouth, about 10 miles away.
If the service is at a church such as St. Mark's Church, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. Parks such as Seaclose Park have their own rules on vehicles and alcohol, so check before planning a drinks bar there. Drinks by the sea could work, as Hillgrove is within about 4 miles of the coast. Licensing on the seafront needs checking, and we will do that with you.
