Mexican bar hire near Monks Orchard
How the day works
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests. A summer drinks reception in Monks Orchard has daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. In late September it is dark around 7:05pm, and in December by about 3:55pm, so evening bars need lighting.
- We check availability.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Mexican bar hire for your event in Monks Orchard
Soft drinks and alcohol-free choices are always part of the bar, so drivers and non-drinkers are not left with tap water. On the menu are agua de jamaica, margaritas and Mexican beer, which works well for birthday parties and company summer parties.
For a drinks reception in Monks Orchard, a courtyard, forecourt or venue with vehicle access suits the truck or trailer. Let us know about parking, permits and any parking suspension. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

How we price Mexican bar hire
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- How many guests we are serving
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Parking and the route in
There is 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.

Monks Orchard: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Monks Orchard for guests?
Guests can use Elmers End station, about 1.2 miles north of Monks Orchard.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St George The Martyr Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Do you have alcohol-free drinks?
Every bar has alcohol-free choices, from aguas frescas to soft drinks.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
