How our Mexican bar hire works in Ripley
Our bar staff serve responsibly: alcohol-free drinks on offer, and no alcohol for anyone under 18. On the menu are soft drinks, margaritas and aguas frescas, which works well for company summer parties and licensed festivals.
Near Ripley, a drinks bar suits gardens, barns and marquees, as long as we can get in. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
What we need at the venue
We will agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice in place
- Details of power and water on site
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

Questions from Ripley
Which station is closest to Ripley?
Guests can use Clandon station, about 2.5 miles south of Ripley.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Mary Magdalen?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a photo of the access and the space, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Do we need a licence for the bar?
That depends on your venue. Some venues have a premises licence; others need a Temporary Event Notice. We talk it through with you.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Do you cover Ripley?
We do. Ripley is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What does a Mexican bar cost?
We do not publish set prices, because every event is different. Send your details for a quote.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we will check the licensing with you and your venue.
The process
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. Evening drinks in Ripley stay light until about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so a summer drinks bar can run into the evening in daylight. For a bar running past dusk, ask the venue about outdoor lighting.
