About our Mexican bar hire in Minster
Serving alcohol at events needs a licence: a premises licence at the venue, or a Temporary Event Notice. We will go through the licensing with you. It works well for taco nights and themed parties and product launches and client events, serving margaritas, Mexican beer and alcohol-free drinks.
For a country party near Minster, a drinks bar in a garden or field sets the mood. Let us know about access and soft ground. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

The process
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t generally stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. Winter receptions in Minster are dark by about 3:50pm in December, so plan where guests will gather, and how it will be lit. Midsummer is the opposite, with daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We talk licensing through with you.
- You choose the drinks with us.
- Our bar staff serve your guests at the agreed times.
- We pack down when the bar closes.
