Mexican bar hire in Sandy Cross, served fresh
The margarita is the star of the bar: tequila, lime and orange liqueur over ice. Popular choices include alcohol-free drinks, margaritas and aguas frescas, and it is a good fit for staff parties and garden parties.
In a rural spot like Sandy Cross, drinks can be served from our food truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, as long as we can get in. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. You will know what’s included before you book: menu, timings and any add-ons.
The menu, item by item
Soft drinks
There is always something alcohol-free.
Agua de jamaica
Agua de jamaica is bright and refreshing.
Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.

Planning the bar

The process
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. At midsummer, it is light in Sandy Cross until about 9:20pm, ideal for drinks outdoors. In late September it is dark around 7:05pm, and in December by about 3:55pm, so evening bars need lighting.
