Mexican bar hire in St Ives, served fresh
There are always alcohol-free drinks on the bar, so drivers and non-drinkers are not left with tap water. At winter celebrations and big birthday celebrations, we can serve soft drinks, aguas frescas and alcohol-free drinks and more.
Near St Ives, a drinks bar suits gardens, barns and marquees, given access. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
How it works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Sunset in St Ives is around 9:25pm in June, which suits an outdoor bar. For a bar running past dusk, ask the venue about outdoor lighting.

St Ives: venues, access and licensing
St Ives is in Hampshire. We serve at events in gardens, halls and venues around St Ives and nearby villages. St Ives is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we can bring Mexican bar hire. We cater right across the region, from St Ives to Southampton (about 20 miles away).
If the service is at a church such as All Saints, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. Around St Ives, historic houses include Avon Tyrrell House (4.5 miles south-east). Many listed venues control who serves drinks on their premises, so ask yours what it allows. An outdoor bar near the New Forest National Park, within about 6 miles of St Ives, needs firm ground and a way in, plus the right licensing, which we will check with you.

Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
