How our Mexican bar hire works in Skippers Hill
We set up the bar at events in and around Skippers Hill: weddings, parties, staff events and festivals. At garden get-togethers and milestone birthdays, we’ll put together a menu of soft drinks, aguas frescas and alcohol-free drinks for your guests.
In a rural spot like Skippers Hill, drinks can be served from our food truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, given access. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Tips for a smooth bar
Some planning tips for the drinks:
- Let us know how many non-drinkers to expect
- Add food if the bar runs for a while
- Tell us when the bar should open and close
- Plan alcohol-free drinks for drivers
Allergen information is available for every drink, so guests can check before ordering.
Aguas frescas for children and non-drinkers.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. 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.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
What affects the price in Skippers Hill
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- What the venue already provides

Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.

For a quote, it helps to have:
- What power and water the site has
- The date and time of the event

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.

Skippers Hill: your questions answered
Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Do you cater in villages like Skippers Hill?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What does Mexican bar hire cost?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a quote.
Do you do drinks only?
Of course. Our Mexican catering can be added too.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we will talk licensing through with you and your venue.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

Step by step
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. A late-September party in Skippers Hill loses the light at about 7:05pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:50pm.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- We talk through licensing with you, whether that is 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 we set up the bar and our bar staff serve your guests.
- We pack away when the bar shuts and leave the area tidy.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

How it compares
Some bars offer little for non-drinkers. Our aguas frescas are made for them. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
