Mexican bar hire in Ickham, served fresh
Cold Mexican lagers come with lime on the side. It works well for engagement and anniversary parties and licensed festivals, serving margaritas, soft drinks and agua de jamaica.
Near Ickham, a drinks bar suits a garden, barn or field party. Let us know about access and soft ground. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.
How the day works
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we have agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. A late-September party in Ickham loses the light at about 7:00pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. In late May, it stays light until about 8:45pm.
- First, we check your date.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

FAQs for Ickham
We are having a ceremony at Church of St John: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Will you travel to a small place like Ickham?
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.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you follow the rules on serving alcohol?
Yes. Under-18s aren’t served alcohol, and anyone who has had too much won’t be served more.
What does Mexican bar hire cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Can we have the bar on its own?
Of course. Our Mexican catering can be added too.
Who handles the licensing?
That depends on your venue. Some venues have a premises licence; others need a Temporary Event Notice. We talk it through with you.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
