What Mexican bar hire costs
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- How long we’re needed on site
- The number of people
- Parking and the route in
- Whether you need disposables
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Where the event is
- A picture of where we’d park
Still deciding on the menu? That’s fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll make suggestions. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
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.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Space, access and the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- Space for guests to queue at the bar
- Somewhere to park and unload nearby
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

FAQs for Shipton-on-Cherwell
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of Holy Cross?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Shipton-on-Cherwell close to London?
About 57 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
What about power on site?
Tell us what the site has, for example a supply from the venue, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you do a taco bar?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
Do you bring staff to serve the drinks?
We bring bar staff.
Is Mexican bar hire right for your event?
DIY bars leave you handling licensing and staffing. We’ll talk licensing through with you and bring bar staff. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.

How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. A late-September party in Shipton-on-Cherwell loses the light at about 7:10pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 9:00pm.
- Send us your date, venue, numbers and drinks ideas.
- We talk licensing through with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- We put together a drinks menu, with alcohol-free choices, and quote for it.
- On the day, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
- When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
