Mexican bar hire in Merton, served fresh
Alcohol at an event needs the right licence: either the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We check the licensing with you before the day. It suits end-of-year parties and weddings, day or evening, serving agua de jamaica, horchata and soft drinks.
Near Merton, a drinks bar suits gardens, barns and marquees, as long as we can get in. We will check the licensing with you. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.

Drinks receptions around Merton
Merton is about 3 miles south of Bicester, in Oxfordshire. Give us the address of your event in Merton, and we’ll plan access and set-up. Merton is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire where we can bring Mexican bar hire. Our nearest city page is Oxford, about 8 miles away.
For a drinks-led event, rail details help, and Bicester Village station is about 2.7 miles away. If the service is at a church such as Church of St Swithin, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church.

Merton questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Swithin?
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’ll check the access.
How far is Merton from central London?
About 52 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Is there something for non-drinkers?
Always. Aguas frescas and soft drinks are alcohol-free.
What’s on the drinks menu?
Our bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
What affects the price in Merton
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- What the venue already provides
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Travel, parking and access
Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and time of the event
- Diets and allergies you know about
- What you’d like on the menu
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
Not sure what you need yet? That is fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will make suggestions. To start, tell us about it on our contact page.
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.
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Is Mexican bar hire right for your event?
A generic bar does the job, but margaritas and aguas frescas give the bar character. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Step by step
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. By late September, sunset in Merton comes at roughly 7:10pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 9:00pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
- We talk through licensing with you, whether that’s the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- We put together a drinks menu, with alcohol-free choices, and quote for it.
- On the day, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
- After service, we clear the bar away.
Preparing for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
