Mexican bar hire for your event in Southampton
Mexican beer is served cold, with a wedge of lime if guests like. Popular choices include alcohol-free drinks, soft drinks and agua de jamaica, and it is a good fit for engagement and anniversary parties and taco nights and themed parties.
Receptions and parties in Southampton can be at home or at a venue. A drinks bar served from our food truck or trailer can work at either, with access and a level spot. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

The process
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain does not usually stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. By late September, sunset in Southampton comes at roughly 7:10pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:55pm.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- We talk licensing through with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- You get a suggested drinks menu and a quote.
- On the day, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
- We pack away when the bar shuts and leave the area tidy.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Ask the venue about power and water

Planning a drinks bar in Southampton
Southampton is in England. For Mexican bar hire in Southampton, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. We cover all 40 towns and villages across Southampton, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
Guests travelling by rail: Southampton has its own station, St Denys station. A drinks bar at a garden or hall near a church like Saint Mary's gives guests something to enjoy while photos are taken. With the New Forest National Park within about 8 miles, a countryside drinks reception is an option. Check how the venue handles outside bars and vehicles. The coast is within about 2 miles of Southampton. Wind, sand and the rules on alcohol in public places all need planning for a seaside bar.

FAQs for Southampton
What’s the nearest station to Southampton for guests?
St Denys station, in Southampton itself.
Do you cater at coastal events near Southampton?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
How much does the drinks bar cost?
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. Tell us your plans for a quote.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Southampton.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do we need a licence for the bar?
Alcohol at an event needs the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We check the licensing with you before the day. See GOV.UK for Temporary Event Notices.
For event organisers in Southampton
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 will follow them.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
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 warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
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.
