The process
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure. A summer drinks reception in Michelmersh 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 4:00pm, so plan lighting around the bar.
- Send us your date, venue, numbers and drinks ideas.
- We check the licensing with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- You get a suggested drinks menu and a quote.
- On the day we set up the bar and our bar staff serve your guests.
- When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
Ask for a quote
Send us the date, your venue or SO51 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just tell us about it on our contact page.

Mexican bar hire for your event in Michelmersh
Responsible serving matters to us: no alcohol for under-18s, and plenty of alcohol-free choices. It works well for end-of-year parties and product launches and client events, with soft drinks, margaritas and Mexican beer.
Near Michelmersh, a drinks bar suits gardens, barns and marquees, given access. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- What the venue already provides
- Timings and hours
- The number of people
- How many staff you need
There’s 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.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The venue or postcode
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send you a clear quote.
Planning the serving area
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- A bar spot away from homes
- Access to unload close to the bar spot
- Firm, level ground where we can set up
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

Questions from Michelmersh
Will you travel to a small place like Michelmersh?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Mary?
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.
Do you have dairy-free options?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. For alcohol, we will go through the licensing with you and your venue.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Do you have alcohol-free drinks?
There are always alcohol-free options, from aguas frescas to soft drinks.
Can you keep it mild?
It is up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
