Mexican bar hire for Mackerel's Common events
About our Mexican bar hire in Mackerel's Common
Soft drinks and alcohol-free choices are always part of the bar, so drivers and non-drinkers aren’t left with tap water. It works well for weddings, day or evening and end-of-year parties, with soft drinks, margaritas and horchata.
In a rural spot like Mackerel's Common, drinks can be served from our food truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, as long as we can get in. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

What Mexican bar hire costs

- Whether you need disposables
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Timings and hours
- Serving staff
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. Contact us for a quote.

How it works
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. A late-September party in Mackerel's Common loses the light at about 7:05pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. In late May, it stays light until about 8:50pm.
- 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 put together a drinks menu, with alcohol-free choices, and quote for it.
- We arrive, set up and serve margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
- When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.
Getting ready for the day

- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Mackerel's Common: your questions answered
We are having a ceremony at The Parish Church of St John the Baptist: can you cater afterwards?
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 will check the access.
Is Mackerel's Common close to London?
It’s about 37 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Send us a picture of the access and the space, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
Do you cover Mackerel's Common?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Mackerel's Common and the rest of West Sussex. To check your date, send a quick message through our quote form.

Before you choose a spot
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Firm, level ground where we can set up
