Planners, venues and businesses

How our Mexican bar hire works in Stroud Common
Serving alcohol at events needs a licence: either the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We will check the licensing with you. At garden parties and client events and launches, we will put together a menu of Mexican beer, margaritas and agua de jamaica and more.
In a rural spot like Stroud Common, drinks can be served from our truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, as long as we can get in. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

What happens on the day
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. At midsummer, it is light in Stroud Common until about 9:20pm, ideal for drinks outdoors. In late September it is dark around 7:05pm, and in December by about 3:55pm, so evening bars need lighting.

Stroud Common questions
Will you travel to a small place like Stroud Common?
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.
Is it possible to have you in Cucknell's Wood?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
