Mexican bar hire in Horley, from our truck or trailer
Serving alcohol at events needs a licence: either the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We will check the licensing with you. On the menu are soft drinks, aguas frescas and horchata, and it is a good fit for milestone birthdays and summer garden parties.
A Mexican drinks bar works for parties and receptions in Horley. The venue needs to allow us on site and have level ground. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.

Your questions about Mexican bar hire in Horley
Which station is closest to Horley?
The closest is Horley station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
How far is Horley from central London?
It is about 22 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
What does a Mexican bar cost?
We do not publish set prices, because every event is different. Send your details for a quote.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
Who handles the licensing?
Alcohol at an event needs the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We go through the licensing with you before the day. See GOV.UK for Temporary Event Notices.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll plan the menu around them.

Agua de jamaica
Hibiscus water, sweet and tart.

Events we cater in Horley
It suits summer evenings especially well in a garden, field or marquee.
Almost any gathering can work with a truck or trailer. In Horley, you could book us for events such as:
- Work celebrations
- Engagement celebrations

Once the ceremony at a church like St Wilfrid's Church is over, guests may be glad of a cold drink at the reception venue.
Questions to ask before booking
- The deposit and payment dates

How it compares
A self-service drinks table is simple but can run dry or go warm. A staffed bar keeps everything under control. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What we offer in Horley
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both

DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Planning the bar
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Share bar opening times
- Make sure there’s water for guests
- Plan alcohol-free drinks for drivers
- Pair the bar with hot food
We set up the bar before guests arrive, so drinks are ready when you are.
