How our Mexican bar hire works in Sidlow
We plan the drinks list together, around your guests, your venue and your timings. Share your ideas and we’ll suggest a menu. We serve alcohol-free drinks, Mexican beer and soft drinks, and it suits anniversaries and engagements and big birthday celebrations.
In a rural spot like Sidlow, drinks can be served from our truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, as long as we can get in. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in Sidlow? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
What happens on the day
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a picture of the space if you are unsure. A late-September party in Sidlow loses the light at about 7:05pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:50pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- We tidy up at the end.
Before we arrive
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
