About our Mexican bar hire in Noke Common
Alcohol at an event needs the right licence: a premises licence at the venue, or a Temporary Event Notice. We’ll go through the licensing with you. Popular choices include margaritas, soft drinks and Mexican beer, and it suits engagement celebrations and birthday parties.
In a rural spot like Noke Common, drinks can be served from our food truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, given access. We’ll talk licensing through with you. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

How the day works
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. At midsummer, it is light in Noke Common until about 9:20pm, ideal for drinks outdoors. By late September, sunset is about 7:10pm, and in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting around the bar.
- 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.
- We tidy up at the end.
How to prepare
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

Planning the serving area
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Room for a queue
- Somewhere to park and unload nearby
- A premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice in place
For somewhere as remote as Noke Common, early notice helps us plan the trip, the route in and power.
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
What we offer
- Horchata
- Mexican beer
- Fruit aguas frescas
- Soft drinks
- Margaritas
- Agua de jamaica (hibiscus)
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Planning a drinks bar in Noke Common

Close to Noke Common are historic houses such as Carisbrooke Castle (2.3 miles south) and Osborne House (2.7 miles north-east). Before booking a historic venue, find out whether it lets an outside bar bring a vehicle on site. A gathering in Seaclose Park? Check the park’s rules first, as alcohol and vehicles typically need permission. The coast is within about 3 miles of Noke Common. Wind, sand and the rules on alcohol in public places all need planning for a seaside bar.

Questions from Noke Common
Do you cater at coastal events near Noke Common?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St. John the Baptist?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, the Isle of Wight included. Find your area.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Mexican bar hire or something else?
With tacos on the menu, a Mexican drinks bar is the natural partner. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
