About our Mexican bar hire in Holbury
Serving alcohol at events needs a licence: a premises licence at the venue, or a Temporary Event Notice. We will go through the licensing with you. At end-of-year and Christmas parties and wedding receptions and evening parties, we will put together a menu of Mexican beer, agua de jamaica and soft drinks and more.
In Holbury, a drinks bar works at home or in a local hall. Alcohol-free drinks such as aguas frescas can be part of the menu. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.
How it works
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. By late September, sunset in Holbury comes at roughly 7:10pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:55pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We talk licensing through with you.
- You choose the drinks with us.
- Our bar staff serve your guests at the agreed times.
- We pack down when the bar closes.
Before we arrive

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
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.
