Mexican bar hire near Keyhaven
DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule. A late-September party in Keyhaven loses the light at about 7:10pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. In late May, it stays light until about 8:55pm.
- We check availability.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We tidy up at the end.
