Mexican bar hire near Netley
DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Mexican bar hire in Netley, served fresh
Serving alcohol at events needs a licence: either the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We’ll check the licensing with you. At mexican-themed parties and work celebrations, we can serve alcohol-free drinks, aguas frescas and soft drinks and more.
In Netley, a drinks bar works at home or in a local hall, with access for the truck or trailer. Aguas frescas and soft drinks cover guests who aren’t drinking alcohol. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Netley: your questions answered
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Edward the Confessor: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
How far is Netley from central London?
It’s about 69 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
What do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we’ll keep their options separate.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we will talk it through.
Do we need a licence for the bar?
That depends on your venue. If the venue has no licence, a Temporary Event Notice may be needed. We will talk licensing through with you.
Do you check ages at the bar?
Always. No alcohol is served to under-18s, and anyone who has had too much will not be served more.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Planning drinks for every guest
Some planning tips for the drinks:
- Ensure drivers have good choices
- Ask your venue about its licence early
- Give the council notice in good time for a Temporary Event Notice
- Share bar opening times
If timings change, tell us and we’ll adjust.
Pair the bar with tacos, burritos and nachos.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our food truck or trailer, and serve without fuss. A late-September party in Netley loses the light at about 7:10pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:55pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We go through the licensing with you.
- We agree a drinks menu.
- We serve drinks responsibly on the day.
- We pack down when the bar closes.

Planning help
Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Parking and the route in
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Your choice of food and drinks
- How many guests we’re serving
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Your menu ideas
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of where we’d park
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, fill in our quote form.

- Licensing checked with you before the day
- Level, firm ground for the bar set-up

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
