How our Mexican bar hire works in Old Basing
A Mexican drinks bar brings margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas to your event, served by our bar staff. It works on its own or alongside our food. It suits engagement and anniversary parties and taco nights and themed parties, with margaritas, agua de jamaica and aguas frescas.
Around Old Basing, 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, so service starts when you want it.

- A flat, firm spot for the bar
- Licensing checked with you before the day
- Agreement from the venue for our bar
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
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.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

For event organisers in Old Basing
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The length of service
- Food, drinks or both
- Travel, parking and access
- The number of people
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican bar hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- What you’d like on the menu
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The address or venue name
- How we drive in and where we can park
Still deciding on the menu? That is fine: give us the basics about your event, and we’ll make suggestions. To start, use our quote form.

The process

Evening drinks in Old Basing stay light until about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so a summer drinks bar can run into the evening in daylight. String lights or lanterns near the hatch make a later bar easier to find.
