Why choose Mexican bar hire in Shalford?
A self-service drinks table is simple but can run dry or go warm. A staffed bar keeps everything under control. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Details of power and water on site
- Access to unload close to the bar spot
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Popular choices
- Margaritas
- Mexican beer

The process
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A picture of the space helps. A late-September party in Shalford loses the light at about 7:05pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:55pm.
