Near Roughdown, a drinks bar suits a garden, barn or field party. Tell us about the ground, gates, power and water. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Planners, venues and businesses

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
A Mexican drinks bar in Roughdown: local tips
Roughdown is about 3 miles south of Hythe, in Hampshire. Across the SO45 area, we’ll come to your venue or site. Roughdown is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we can bring Mexican bar hire. We cater right across the region, from Roughdown to Southampton (7 miles away).
Anyone leaving the car at home will want to know that the nearest station is Netley station, about 4.3 miles north-east. Older venues around Roughdown may restrict vehicles and outside drinks service, so confirm what’s allowed before booking. With the New Forest National Park within about 3 miles, a countryside drinks reception is an option. Check how the venue handles outside bars and vehicles. With the sea within about 5 miles, a seaside drinks reception is an option. Seafront spots typically need permission, especially for alcohol, and the truck or trailer needs firm ground.

About the menu

How it works
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. Sunset in Roughdown is around 9:20pm in June, which suits an outdoor bar. String lights or lanterns near the hatch make a later bar easier to find.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- We go through the licensing with you: 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, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
- After service, we clear the bar away.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Tell us when you want service to start

Common questions in Roughdown
Could you come to a seaside event near Roughdown?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Which station should guests use for Roughdown?
The closest is Netley station, roughly 4.3 miles away.
Can we have the bar on its own?
Yes, though it pairs well with tacos. Ask about adding tacos and burritos.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, for instance a supply from the venue, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
How spicy is the food?
It’s up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Planning the serving area
If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another spot. The main points are:

- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- A flat, firm spot for the bar
