Working with your venue
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
About our Mexican bar hire in Ropley Dean
Serving alcohol at events needs a licence: a premises licence at the venue, or a Temporary Event Notice. We go through the licensing with you before the day. It works well for licensed festivals and mexican-themed parties, with margaritas, alcohol-free drinks and soft drinks.
In a rural spot like Ropley Dean, drinks can be served from our truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, as long as we can get in. We’ll go through the licensing with you. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

How it works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you are ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends.

By late September, sunset is about 7:10pm, and in December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting around the bar.
