By late September, sunset is about 7:10pm, and in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting around the bar.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
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.
Tips for a smooth bar
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Plan water alongside the bar
- Plan transport home for guests
- Tell us when the bar should open and close
- Include aguas frescas for non-drinkers
Alcohol-free drinks are always available.
A welcome margarita as guests arrive.
About the menu
Margaritas
A classic margarita, served cold, with or without a salted rim.
Horchata
Cinnamon-spiced rice drink, served cold.
Drinks receptions around Stanswood
Stanswood is about 3 miles north-west of Cowes, in Hampshire. Tell us where your event in Stanswood will be, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up. We cover 683 places across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Stanswood to Southampton (8 miles away).
Historic buildings near Stanswood often have strict rules for outside caterers, so ask early if that’s your venue. If the service is at a church such as St George, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. With the New Forest National Park within about 5 miles, a countryside drinks reception is an option. Check how the venue handles outside bars and vehicles. Drinks by the sea could work, as Stanswood is within about 4 miles of the coast. Licensing on the seafront needs checking, and we will do that with you.

Your questions about Mexican bar hire in Stanswood
Will you travel to a small place like Stanswood?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the New Forest National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
How spicy is the food?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
How much does the drinks bar cost?
We do not publish set prices, as each event is different. Tell us your plans for a quote.
Do you serve responsibly?
Our bar staff serve responsibly: under-18s get alcohol-free drinks only, and we offer water and alcohol-free choices throughout.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Do you cook on site?
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.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
