Drinks bars for events in Mackney
Mackney is about 4 miles east of Didcot, in Oxfordshire. From the centre of Mackney to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Mackney is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire where we can bring Mexican bar hire. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Mackney to Oxford (10 miles away).
If the service is at a church such as Church of St Agatha, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. If you have your heart set on Kinecroft, ask the people who run it about vehicles, alcohol and licensing first. Mackney is within about 7 miles of the North Wessex Downs National Landscape, a lovely setting for drinks outdoors. Ask your venue about vehicle access for the truck or trailer.

Your questions about Mexican bar hire in Mackney
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
How far is Mackney from London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t typically stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Who handles the licensing?
You’ll need either the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We check the licensing with you before the day. See GOV.UK for Temporary Event Notices.
Can you keep it mild?
That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Can we have the bar on its own?
Yes. Book the bar on its own, or with our Mexican catering.
How it works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain doesn’t typically stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. At midsummer, it is light in Mackney until about 9:25pm, ideal for drinks outdoors. In late September it is dark around 7:10pm, and in December by about 3:55pm, so evening bars need lighting.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Travel, parking and access
- What’s on the menu
- Food, drinks or both
- What the venue already provides
Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Expected numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we’ll make suggestions. To start, send a quick message through our quote form.
Is Mexican bar hire right for your event?
Wine and fizz are classic but expected. A Mexican bar feels relaxed and different. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why us?
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- A menu built around your guests
