Mexican bar hire for Sutton Valence events
Mexican bar hire in Sutton Valence, served fresh
Alcohol at an event needs the right licence: a premises licence at the venue, or a Temporary Event Notice. We’ll go through the licensing with you. For company summer parties and wedding drinks receptions, we will put together a menu of aguas frescas, margaritas and Mexican beer and more.
Near Sutton Valence, a drinks bar suits gardens, barns and marquees, given access. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Working with your venue
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Tips for a smooth bar

Your questions about Mexican bar hire in Sutton Valence
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Do you cater in villages like Sutton Valence?
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 the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What drinks do you serve?
Our bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata, plus alcohol-free choices.
Do we need a licence for the bar?
You will need either the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We check the licensing with you before the day. See GOV.UK for Temporary Event Notices.
What does a Mexican bar cost?
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. Send your details for a quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.

How the day works
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we have agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. By late September, sunset in Sutton Valence comes at roughly 7:00pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. In late May, it stays light until about 8:50pm.
- We check availability.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- We tidy up at the end.
Preparing for the day
