About our Mexican bar hire in Shawford
Pair the bar with our Mexican catering for tacos, burritos and nachos, so food and drinks come from one booking. It suits client events and launches and mexican-themed parties, serving agua de jamaica, aguas frescas and Mexican beer.
Near Shawford, a drinks bar suits a garden, barn or field party. Let us know about access and soft ground. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Common questions in Shawford
Is Shawford close to London?
It is about 63 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to St. Cross 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 will send what they need from us.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Do you do drinks only?
You can. The bar can be booked on its own.
Do you bring staff to serve the drinks?
We bring bar staff, and serve throughout the agreed hours.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we will go through the licensing with you and your venue.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
Who clears up?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will talk it through.
Is Mexican bar hire right for your event?
Some bars offer little for non-drinkers. Aguas frescas give them something special. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We’re ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. A summer drinks reception in Shawford has daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer, ideal for drinks outdoors. In late September it’s dark around 7:10pm, and in December by about 4:00pm, so evening bars need lighting.
- First, we check your date.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
Getting ready for the day
