Mexican bar hire for Newtown events
Mexican bar hire in Newtown, served fresh
The margarita is the star of the bar: lime, tequila and orange liqueur, served cold, with or without a salted rim. It works well for wedding drinks receptions and licensed festivals, serving Mexican beer, agua de jamaica and margaritas.
In Newtown, a drinks bar works at home or in a local hall. Alcohol-free drinks such as aguas frescas can be part of the menu. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

How it works
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. A late-September party in Newtown loses the light at about 7:00pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. In late May, it stays light until about 8:45pm.

Questions from Newtown
How far is Newtown from central London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you serve responsibly?
Always. No alcohol is served to under-18s, and we may refuse service to anyone who has had too much.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
How spicy is the food?
It’s up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
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.
