Mexican bar hire for How Green events
How our Mexican bar hire works in How Green
Responsible serving matters to us: no alcohol for under-18s, and plenty of alcohol-free choices. At garden parties and anniversaries and engagements, we can serve alcohol-free drinks, soft drinks and agua de jamaica.
Near How Green, a drinks bar suits gardens, barns and marquees, 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 the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Room for a queue
- Vehicle access near the bar
- Licensing checked with you before the day
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Questions from How Green
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
How far is How Green from central London?
It’s about 23 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Is the food very hot?
That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will check the licensing with you.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
What can we have at the bar?
Margaritas and Mexican beer, with aguas frescas like horchata and agua de jamaica, plus alcohol-free choices.
Are plates and napkins included?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we’ll talk it through.

Should I do it myself?

Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
