Drinks planning tips
A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:
- Have plenty of water available
- Check allergies with guests, including for drinks
- Add food if the bar runs for a while

Your questions about Mexican bar hire in Knowle
Will you travel to a small place like Knowle?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Francis?
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’ll check the access.
Are plates and napkins included?
That is confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, Hampshire included. Find your area.
Do you come to Knowle?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Knowle and across Hampshire. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Is the food very hot?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.

For planners, venues and organisers
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
How the day works
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. In December, the light goes in Knowle at about 4:00pm, so plan where guests will gather, and how it will be lit. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- We check the licensing with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- We put together a drinks menu, with alcohol-free choices, and quote for it.
- On the day we set up the bar and our bar staff serve your guests.
- We pack away when the bar shuts and leave the area tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
Ask for a quote

Knowle: venues, access and licensing
Knowle is about 2 miles north of Fareham, in Hampshire. Across the PO17 area, we will come to your venue or site. Knowle is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover. We cater right across the region, from Knowle to Southampton (9 miles away).
For guests coming by train, Fareham station is about 2 miles away. A drinks bar at a garden or hall near a church like Church of St Francis gives guests something to enjoy while photos are taken. With the sea within about 5 miles, a seaside drinks reception is an option. Seafront spots generally need permission, especially for alcohol, and the truck or trailer needs firm ground.
Wherever your event is in PO17, we can bring Mexican bar hire to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Serotine Close, Boundary Walk and Park Approach, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Nearby, we also cater events in Funtley (1 mile south), Tapnage (1 mile north-west), Heathfield (2 miles south), Segensworth (2 miles west) and Titchfield Park (2 miles south-west). We also cater in nearby towns such as Winchester (13 miles north), Gosport (6 miles south-east), Havant (10 miles east), Eastleigh (9 miles north-west), Horndean (9 miles east) and Totton (13 miles west).
A little further out are Portchester Castle (4.9 miles south-east) and Knowle Hospital (under half a mile north-east). Open spaces near Knowle include Portsdown Hill and Swanwick Lakes.
- Nearby schools include The Henry Cort Community College (1.5 miles south-west)
- Pubs nearby include The Miners Arms (0.7 miles south)
How we price Mexican bar hire
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- What the venue already provides
- Parking and the route in
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Staff for serving and the bar
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- The address or venue name
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, use our quote form.
