How our Mexican bar hire works in Northwood
We set up the bar at events in and around Northwood: weddings, parties, staff events and festivals. It works well for fairs and community events and engagement celebrations, serving aguas frescas, soft drinks and alcohol-free drinks.
Around Northwood, a drinks bar suits garden parties and village-hall celebrations. Aguas frescas and soft drinks cover guests who aren’t drinking alcohol. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Is Mexican bar hire right for your event?
If you are serving Mexican food, margaritas and Mexican beer fit perfectly. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

Can I do a taco night 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, with allergen information for every dish.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Your questions about Mexican bar hire in Northwood
Could you come to a seaside event near Northwood?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades generally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Is Northwood close to London?
It’s about 65 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
Do you provide bar staff?
Yes, our bar staff serve your guests. They serve responsibly.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
What can we have at the bar?
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, plus soft drinks. We plan the list with you.
Planning the serving area
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A spot away from neighbours’ windows if the bar runs late
- Somewhere to park and unload nearby
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Menu ideas
- Fruit aguas frescas
- Agua de jamaica (hibiscus)
- Soft drinks
- Margaritas
- Horchata

Occasions we cater for in Northwood
Licensing is talked through with you.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Common bookings include:
- Engagement and anniversary parties
- End-of-year and Christmas parties
- Milestone birthdays
- Product launches and client events
If the service is at a church such as St Mark's Church, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church.

How it works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. A summer drinks reception in Northwood has daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. By late September, sunset is about 7:00pm, and in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting around the bar.
- First, we check your date.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, tell us about it on our contact page.
