Mexican bar hire for your event in Newchurch
Alcohol at an event needs the right licence: either the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We talk licensing through with you before the day. At end-of-year parties and product launches and client events, we can serve aguas frescas, agua de jamaica and horchata.
In a rural spot like Newchurch, drinks can be served from our truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, given access. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
The process
Here’s how the day normally runs: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. By late September, sunset in Newchurch comes at roughly 7:00pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. In late May, it stays light until about 8:45pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We tidy up at the end.
How to prepare

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Comparing your options
Non-drinkers often get only soft drinks. Our aguas frescas are made for them. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
What you get with us
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Every guest catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included

What’s the nearest station to Newchurch for guests?

That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.

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.
