Mexican bar hire for Selborne events
About our Mexican bar hire in Selborne
Add our food for tacos, burritos and nachos with the drinks, so food and drinks come from one booking. On the menu are horchata, agua de jamaica and margaritas, and it’s a good fit for work celebrations and client events and launches.
Near Selborne, a drinks bar suits a garden, barn or field party. Tell us about the ground, gates, power and water. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Selborne questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Which station is closest to Selborne?
Alton station, about 3.8 miles north of the centre.
What can we have at the bar?
Margaritas and Mexican beer, with aguas frescas like horchata and agua de jamaica, plus alcohol-free choices.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
Do you have a licence to sell alcohol?
Alcohol at an event needs the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We talk licensing through with you before the day. See GOV.UK for Temporary Event Notices.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will recommend how to serve.

Space, access and the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- The venue’s permission for an outside bar
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- A clear area in front of the bar
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

What happens on the day
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. By late September, sunset in Selborne comes at roughly 7:05pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. In late May, it stays light until about 8:55pm.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

How we price Mexican bar hire
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Whether you need disposables
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many guests we are serving
Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Expected numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- How we drive in and where we can park
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. To send your details, tell us about it on our contact page.
How it compares
DIY bars leave you handling licensing and staffing. We will talk licensing through with you and bring bar staff. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why book with us
- A plan agreed before the day
- Service planned around your numbers
- We cover Selborne and the whole of Hampshire
- Allergen information for everything we serve
