Is Mexican bar hire right for your event?

How it works
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. A summer drinks reception in Mapledurham has daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. By late September, sunset is about 7:10pm, and in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting around the bar.
