Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What happens on the day

Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. In December, the light goes in Lickfold at about 4:00pm, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:20pm.

  1. It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
  2. We check the licensing with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
  3. We put together a drinks menu, with alcohol-free choices, and quote for it.
  4. On the day, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
  5. We pack away when the bar shuts and leave the area tidy.

Getting ready for the day

  • Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
  • Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
  • Ask the venue about power and water

Planning help

Planning the bar

A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:

  • Plan any Temporary Event Notice well ahead
  • Plan water alongside the bar
  • Check allergies with guests, including for drinks
  • Tell us how many guests are under 18

We serve responsibly: no alcohol for under-18s, and we may refuse service to anyone who has had too much.

Tell us what glassware you need and we will confirm the options with your quote.

Questions from Lickfold

Do you come out to small places like Lickfold?

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.

How far is Lickfold from central London?

It is about 41 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.

What can we have at the bar?

Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, plus soft drinks. The drinks list is agreed with you.

Is the food suitable for children?

Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will suggest mild options.

Can you cater in a back garden?

That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we will advise.

Can you run a bar?

Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we will check the licensing with you and your venue.

What does a Mexican bar cost?

We quote for each event, based on numbers, drinks and hours. For a price, use our quote form.

Who handles the licensing?

That depends on your venue. If the venue has no licence, a Temporary Event Notice may be needed. We’ll talk licensing through with you.

How it compares

Wine and fizz are classic but expected. A Mexican bar feels relaxed and different. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

What you get with us

  • A plan agreed before the day
  • Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
  • Menus chosen with you
  • A quote that sets out what’s included

See our prices page or our guide to catering costs.

DIY taco night or a caterer?

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

What Mexican bar hire costs

Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:

  • Whether you need disposables
  • Whether you add a drinks bar or food
  • Parking and the route in
  • How long we’re needed on site

There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican bar hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • What power and water the site has
  • What you’d like on the menu
