How our Mexican bar hire works in Norleywood
Serving alcohol at events needs a licence: a premises licence at the venue, or a Temporary Event Notice. We’ll check the licensing with you. It suits birthday parties and licensed festivals, with agua de jamaica, soft drinks and horchata.
Near Norleywood, a drinks bar suits gardens, barns and marquees, as long as we can get in. We’ll go through the licensing with you. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Norleywood questions
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What’s the nearest station to Norleywood for guests?
Lymington Pier station, about 2 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
Can we have the bar on its own?
Of course. Our Mexican catering can be added too.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
What does Mexican bar hire cost?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Do you serve responsibly?
Yes. No alcohol is served to under-18s, and anyone who has had too much will not be served more.
Drinks planning tips
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Check how alcohol will be licensed at your venue
- Give us numbers for children
- Pair the bar with hot food
- Ask guests about allergies
There are always alcohol-free options.
Add our Mexican catering for tacos, burritos and nachos.
What happens on the day
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests. A summer drinks reception in Norleywood has daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer, ideal for drinks outdoors. In late September it’s dark around 7:10pm, and in December by about 4:00pm, so evening bars need lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- We talk licensing through with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- You get a suggested drinks menu and a quote.
- On the day, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
- We pack away when the bar shuts and leave the area tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Find out what power and water are available
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
