Mexican bar hire near Nettlecombe

Working with your venue

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.

If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Should I do it myself?

A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.

If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.

It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
We suggest a drinks list and send a quote.
On the day we set up the bar and our bar staff serve your guests.
