Mexican bar hire near Howt Green
How the day works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a photo of the space if you’re unsure. By late September, sunset in Howt Green comes at roughly 7:00pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. In late May, it stays light until about 8:50pm.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- We talk through licensing with you, whether that is the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- We suggest a drinks list and send a quote.
- On the day, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
- When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Tell us when you want service to start
Ask for a quote
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
Planning help
Mexican bar hire for your event in Howt Green
We plan the drinks list together, around your guests, your venue and your timings. Tell us what you have in mind. On the menu are soft drinks, aguas frescas and horchata, and it suits big birthday celebrations and taco nights and themed parties.
In a rural spot like Howt Green, 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. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- What the venue already provides
- Guest numbers
- Distance and access to the venue
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- The date and rough timings
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
Send us the date, your venue or ME9 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and you will get menu ideas and a price. Just fill in our quote form.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Where the truck can go in Howt Green
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- A premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice in place
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
