Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.
What does a Mexican bar cost?
Every bar is quoted for individually, based on numbers, drinks and hours. Contact us for a quote.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we’ll park.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will plan the menu around them.
Planning the bar
A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:
- Plan alcohol-free drinks for drivers
- Tell us how many guests are under 18
- Think about how guests get home
- Collect allergy details in advance
If timings change, tell us and we’ll adjust.
A choice of soft drinks.
Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.

Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. In December, the light goes in Shortheath at about 4:00pm, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:20pm.

- Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
