Mexican bar hire in Shipley
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s 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.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
How our Mexican bar hire works in Shipley
There are always alcohol-free drinks on the bar, so drivers and non-drinkers aren’t left with tap water. For milestone birthdays and product launches and client events, we can serve soft drinks, Mexican beer and aguas frescas for your guests.
For a country party near Shipley, a drinks bar in a garden or field sets the mood. Let us know about access and soft ground. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer.

How the day works
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. A late-September party in Shipley loses the light at about 7:05pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. In late May, it stays light until about 8:50pm.
- First, we check your date.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- We tidy up at the end.
Preparing for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
