Mexican bar hire in South Hayling
How our Mexican bar hire works in South Hayling
The drinks menu is agreed with you, to suit your guests and timings. Share your ideas and we’ll suggest a menu. It suits big birthday celebrations and licensed festivals, serving soft drinks, alcohol-free drinks and horchata.
Around South Hayling, a drinks bar suits garden parties and village-hall celebrations, with access for the truck or trailer. Alcohol-free drinks such as aguas frescas can be part of the menu. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

What Mexican bar hire costs
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- What the venue already provides
- Parking and the route in
- How many guests we are serving
- Serving staff
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.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- The address or venue name
- What you’d like on the menu
- How we drive in and where we can park
- What power and water the site has
The quickest way to a quote is to tell us about it on our contact page. Tell us about your event in South Hayling, and we’ll put together a menu and price.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
South Hayling questions
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Mary's Church?
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.
Which station should guests use for South Hayling?
Guests can use Fratton station, about 4.3 miles west of South Hayling.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. For alcohol, we’ll go through the licensing with you and your venue.
Do we need a licence for the bar?
You will need either the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We will talk licensing through with you. GOV.UK explains Temporary Event Notices.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do you provide bar staff?
We bring bar staff.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
The process
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. Sunset in South Hayling is around 9:20pm in June, which suits an outdoor bar. String lights or lanterns near the hatch make a later bar easier to find.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
- We suggest a drinks list and send a quote.
- On the day, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
- After service, we clear the bar away.
How to prepare
- Find out what power and water are available
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
