Drinks receptions around Stroud
Stroud is about 2 miles west of Petersfield, in Hampshire. Whether your event is in the middle of Stroud or on the outskirts, Mexican bar hire works the same way: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Stroud is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Stroud to Southampton (19 miles away).
Older venues around Stroud may restrict vehicles and outside drinks service, so confirm what’s allowed before you book. Once the ceremony at a church like Stroud Mission Church is over, guests may be glad of a cold drink at the reception venue. An outdoor bar near the South Downs National Park, within about 2 miles of Stroud, needs firm ground and a way in, plus the right licensing, which we’ll check with you.
We cater events across the GU32 postcode area. Local streets include Winchester Road, Stroudfields and Ramsdean Road; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. Nearby, we also cater events in Langrish (1 mile west), Petersfield (2 miles east), Froxfield Green (2 miles north-west), Steep (2 miles north-east) and High Cross (2 miles north). We also cater in nearby towns such as Winchester (15 miles west), Havant (10 miles south), Fareham (15 miles south-west), Horndean (7 miles south), Alton (10 miles north) and Waterlooville (9 miles south).
Nearby you’ll also find Petersfield Community Hospital (1.3 miles east) and Clanfield Earthwork (4.2 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Liss Riverside Railway Walk South and Pidham Hill.
- Nearby schools include The Petersfield School (1.4 miles east) and Morton House School (1.4 miles east)
- Pubs nearby include Seven Stars pub (less than half a mile south-east)
How our Mexican bar hire works in Stroud
Alcohol at an event needs the right licence: a premises licence at the venue, or a Temporary Event Notice. We’ll talk licensing through with you. On the menu are alcohol-free drinks, soft drinks and margaritas, which works well for end-of-year parties and client events and launches.
In a rural spot like Stroud, drinks can be served from our truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, as long as we can get in. We will check the licensing with you. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Mexican bar hire or something else?
Running your own bar means checking licensing, stock and staff yourself. We’ll check the licensing with you and bring bar 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. We quote for each event individually.

Your questions about Mexican bar hire in Stroud
Can you cater a reception after a service at Stroud Mission Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
How far is Stroud from London?
It is about 51 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.
Do you cover Stroud?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Stroud is within our area. For a quote, tell us about it on our contact page.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. 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.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t usually stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Planning the serving area
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Access to unload close to the bar spot
- Agreement from the venue for our bar
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Planning drinks for every guest
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Give the council notice in good time for a Temporary Event Notice

There are always alcohol-free options, including aguas frescas.
