Mexican bar hire for your event in Ilmer
Serving alcohol at events needs a licence: a premises licence at the venue, or a Temporary Event Notice. We check the licensing with you before the day. At big birthday celebrations and themed celebrations, we can serve alcohol-free drinks, agua de jamaica and aguas frescas and more.
For a country party near Ilmer, a drinks bar in a garden or field sets the mood. Let us know about access and soft ground. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

A Mexican drinks bar in Ilmer: local tips
Ilmer is about 4 miles east of Thame, in Buckinghamshire. Events in Ilmer are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. We cover 263 places across Buckinghamshire. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Ilmer to Oxford (15 miles away).
If the service is at a church such as Church of St Peter, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. Historic buildings near Ilmer often have strict rules for outside caterers, so ask early if that is your venue. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Ilmer, a lovely setting for drinks outdoors. Ask your venue about vehicle access for the truck or trailer.
We cater events across the HP27 postcode area. For events just outside Ilmer, we cover Longwick (1 mile south-east), Holly Green (1 mile south), Forty Green (1 mile south), Owlswick (1 mile east) and Pitch Green (2 miles south). Further out, we also cater in Aylesbury (6 miles north-east), High Wycombe (10 miles south-east), Chesham (12 miles east), Marlow (13 miles south), Amersham (13 miles east) and Beaconsfield (14 miles south-east).

Ilmer: your questions answered
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Peter: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not 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 Ilmer from London?
About 38 miles from central London.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
What’s on the menu?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
What’s on the drinks menu?
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, plus soft drinks. We plan the list with you.
Do you provide bar staff?
Our bar staff run the bar. They serve responsibly.
Step by step
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain doesn’t typically stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. A summer drinks reception in Ilmer has daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. In late September it is dark around 7:05pm, and in December by about 3:55pm, so evening bars need lighting.
- We check availability.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We tidy up at the end.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Tell us when you want service to start
