Mexican bar hire for your event in Lilyvale
Margaritas are the centrepiece: tequila, lime and orange liqueur over ice. Popular choices include Mexican beer, agua de jamaica and aguas frescas, which works well for summer garden parties and company summer parties.
In a rural spot like Lilyvale, drinks can be served from our truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, given access. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.
Who books Mexican bar hire in Lilyvale?
You can book it with or without catering.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Common bookings include:
- Milestone birthdays
- Garden get-togethers
- Engagement and anniversary parties
- Work celebrations
If the service is at a church such as Church of St Mary, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if it rains
- How dietary needs and allergies are handled
- Whether travel is included
- VAT, if it applies
What we need at the venue

Is Mexican bar hire right for your event?
Bring-your-own is simple but uneven. A bar gives every guest a drink in hand, including non-drinkers. There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican bar hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
What you get with us
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both

How the day works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. In December, the light goes in Lilyvale at about 3:50pm, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. Midsummer is the opposite, with daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Send us your date, venue, numbers and drinks ideas.
- We talk licensing through with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- We suggest a drinks list and send a quote.
- On the day, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
- After service, we clear the bar away.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has

Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Whether you need disposables
- Timings and hours
- Food, drinks or both
- Your choice of food and drinks
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

Lilyvale questions
How far is Lilyvale from London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
Do you cater in villages like Lilyvale?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Can we book the bar without food?
You can. The bar can be booked on its own, or with our Mexican catering.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.

Close to Lilyvale are historic houses such as Westenhanger Castle (2.7 miles south-east).
