About our Mexican bar hire in Shilton
Alcohol at an event needs the right licence: a premises licence at the venue, or a Temporary Event Notice. We go through the licensing with you before the day. At themed celebrations and launch parties, we can serve margaritas, soft drinks and alcohol-free drinks.
For a country party near Shilton, a drinks bar in a garden or field sets the mood. 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.

Step by step
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain doesn’t generally stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. A summer drinks reception in Shilton has daylight until about 9:30pm at midsummer, ideal for drinks outdoors. By late September, sunset is about 7:10pm, and in December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting around the bar.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
- We talk through licensing with you, whether that’s the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- We put together a drinks menu, with alcohol-free choices, and quote for it.
- We arrive, set up and serve margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
- When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer

How far is Shilton from London?
It is about 68 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.

There is no fixed price list, because every event is different. Tell us your plans for a quote.

How long are you on site?

What else we do in Shilton
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
