How our Mexican bar hire works in Lordswood
The margarita is the star of the bar: lime, tequila and orange liqueur, served cold, with or without a salted rim. For anniversaries and engagements and licensed festivals, we will put together a menu of soft drinks, alcohol-free drinks and aguas frescas and more.
Around Lordswood, a drinks bar suits garden parties and village-hall celebrations. Aguas frescas and soft drinks cover guests who are not drinking alcohol. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.

Drinks planning tips
Some planning tips for the drinks:
- Share taxi numbers with guests
- Ask your venue about its licence early
- Add food if the bar runs for a while
- Give us numbers for children
We serve responsibly: under-18s aren’t served alcohol, and nor is anyone who has had too much.
Alcohol-free aguas frescas for all ages.
Space, access and the venue
We will agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Room for a queue
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.

Who books Mexican bar hire in Lordswood?
A themed bar adds a talking point.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Typical bookings include:
- Wedding drinks receptions
- Taco nights and themed parties
- Festivals and fairs
- Garden parties
Serving alcohol in St James' Park would need the owner’s permission and probably a licence, so a garden or venue is often simpler.
Before booking anyone
- What the caterer needs from your venue
- The caterer’s food hygiene rating
- What the price includes, item by item
- The wet-weather plan
Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.

- The date and rough timings
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both

The process
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. Sunset in Lordswood is around 9:25pm in June, so a summer drinks bar can run into the evening in daylight. String lights or lanterns near the hatch make a later bar easier to find.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We talk licensing through with you.
- You choose the drinks with us.
- We serve drinks responsibly on the day.
- We pack down when the bar closes.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

Lordswood questions
Can you bring your truck or trailer to St James' Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Lord's Hill Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What drinks do you serve?
Our bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
