Mexican bar hire for your event in Mansbridge
The margarita is the star of the bar: lime, tequila and orange liqueur, served cold. It works well for end-of-year parties and licensed festivals, with aguas frescas, margaritas and Mexican beer.
In Mansbridge, a drinks bar works at home or in a local hall, with access for the truck or trailer. Alcohol-free drinks such as aguas frescas can be part of the menu. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

FAQs for Mansbridge
We’re having a ceremony at St. Mary's Church: 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.
Could you come to a seaside event near Mansbridge?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How much is the bar?
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. Send your details for a quote.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
Do you provide bar staff?
Bar staff are part of the service, and serve throughout the agreed hours.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you do drinks only?
Of course. Our Mexican catering can be added too.
Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
How we price Mexican bar hire
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Distance and access to the venue
- Whether you need disposables
- Serving staff
There is 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.

The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. Evening drinks in Mansbridge stay light until about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late 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.
- First, we check your date.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- We tidy up at the end.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
