Organising for someone else?
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
How our Mexican bar hire works in Red Rice
A Mexican drinks bar brings margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas to your event, with bar staff to serve your guests. It works on its own or alongside our food. Popular choices include Mexican beer, horchata and agua de jamaica, and it suits winter celebrations and product launches and client events.
In a rural spot like Red Rice, drinks can be served from our food truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, given access. We will talk licensing through with you. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Tips for a smooth bar
Some planning tips for the drinks:
- Agree bar timings in advance
- Think about how guests get home
- Check how alcohol will be licensed at your venue
- Ask guests about allergies
If timings change, tell us and we’ll adjust.

Common questions in Red Rice
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
What’s the nearest station to Red Rice for guests?
Guests can use Andover station, about 2.6 miles north-east of Red Rice.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t usually stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
What drinks do you serve?
Our bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

Mexican bar hire or something else?
