Mexican bar hire near Redbridge

Step by step

When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. A late-September party in Redbridge loses the light at about 7:10pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. In late May, it stays light until about 8:55pm.

You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
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.
On the day we set up the bar and our bar staff serve your guests.
When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.

Before we arrive

DIY taco night versus a caterer

You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
