How our Mexican bar hire works in Saltwood
Serving alcohol at events needs a licence: a premises licence at the venue, or a Temporary Event Notice. We check the licensing with you before the day. For company summer parties and themed celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of soft drinks, margaritas and horchata.
Near Saltwood, a drinks bar suits a garden, barn or field party. Let us know about access and soft ground. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
Should I do it myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.
How the day works
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. A summer drinks reception in Saltwood has daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. By late September, sunset is about 7:00pm, and in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting around the bar.

Tips for a smooth bar
A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:
- Ask guests about allergies
- Find out if you need a Temporary Event Notice
- Tell us how many guests are under 18
- Plan water alongside the bar
Responsible serving comes first: no alcohol for under-18s, and we may refuse service to anyone who has had too much.

Common questions in Saltwood
Will you travel to a small place like Saltwood?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Could you serve in Brockhill Country Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Send us a photo of the access and the space, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Who clears up?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
