Planning an event in Ockford Ridge?
How it works
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. A late-September party in Ockford Ridge loses the light at about 7:05pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. In late May, it stays light until about 8:55pm.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- We talk through licensing with you, whether that’s the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- We put together a drinks menu, with alcohol-free choices, and quote for it.
- We arrive, set up and serve margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
- When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Tell us what power and water the site has

About our Mexican bar hire in Ockford Ridge
Responsible serving matters to us: no alcohol for under-18s, and plenty of alcohol-free choices. On the menu are aguas frescas, agua de jamaica and horchata, and it suits mexican-themed parties and big birthday celebrations.
In a rural spot like Ockford Ridge, drinks can be served from our food truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, given access. We will check the licensing with you. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The menu you choose
- Food, drinks or both
- What the venue already provides
