Mexican bar hire for Merrow events
How it works
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. Winter receptions in Merrow are dark by about 3:55pm in December, so plan where guests will gather, and how it will be lit. Midsummer is the opposite, with daylight until about 9:20pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Give us a contact for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
How to get a price
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

Common questions in Merrow
What’s the nearest station to Merrow for guests?
Guests can use Clandon station, about 1.6 miles north-east of Merrow.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Riverside Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
Can you keep it mild?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.
Can we have the bar on its own?
Of course. Ask about adding tacos and burritos.
