Mexican bar hire for Shirburn events
Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

What Mexican bar hire costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- The menu you choose
- Timings and hours
- How many guests we’re serving
- Distance and access to the venue
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The date and rough timings
- The venue or postcode
- Expected numbers
- Your menu ideas
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Before you choose a spot
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere to park and unload nearby
- Level, firm ground for the bar set-up
- A premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice in place
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.

How the day works
Here’s how the day generally runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. In December, the light goes in Shirburn at about 3:55pm, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:25pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We tidy up at the end.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
