Mexican bar hire in Swaythling, from our food truck or trailer
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. We serve margaritas, horchata and soft drinks, and it is a good fit for wedding drinks receptions and summer garden parties.
For a party in a place like Swaythling, a drinks bar is easy and sociable. Let us know about access and power. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Swaythling: your questions answered
Is it possible to have you in Riverside Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Could you come to a seaside event near Swaythling?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Who handles the licensing?
You will need either the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We’ll check the licensing with you. GOV.UK explains Temporary Event Notices.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll talk it through.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.

Swaythling: venues, access and licensing
Swaythling is about 2 miles north of Southampton, in Southampton. For an event in Swaythling, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access in and around Swaythling. Swaythling is one of 40 places in Southampton where we can bring Mexican bar hire.
If the service is at a church such as St. Mary's Church, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. Nearby historic houses include South Stoneham House (within half a mile south-east) and Southampton Tudor House and Garden (3 miles south). Before booking a historic venue, find out whether it lets an outside bar bring a vehicle on site. Drinks by the sea could work, as Swaythling is within about 3 miles of the coast. Licensing on the seafront needs checking, and we’ll do that with you.
Mexican bar hire in SO16, SO18 and SO17 is planned around your venue and access and timings. Local streets include High Road, Wide Lane and Lilac Road; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. If your venue is just outside Swaythling, we also cover Bassett Green (1 mile west), Mansbridge (1 mile east), North Stoneham (1 mile north), Portswood (1 mile south-west) and St Denys (1 mile south). Within a short drive, we also cover Shirley (3 miles south-west), Regents Park (3 miles south-west), Thornhill (3 miles south-east), Itchen (3 miles south), Sholing (3 miles south) and Maybush (3 miles west).
A little further out are Marlands Shopping Centre (2.6 miles south-west) and Bitterne Local History Society Heritage And Research Centre (1.9 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Netley Common.
- Schools near Swaythling include Saint George Catholic Voluntary Aided College Southampton (0.5 miles north) and Saint George Catholic Voluntary Aided College Southampton (0.5 miles north)
- Pubs nearby include The Fleming Arms Public House (under half a mile north-east)
Is Mexican bar hire right for your event?
A standard bar is fine, but margaritas and aguas frescas give the bar character. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican bar hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.

How the day works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A photo of the space helps. Sunset in Swaythling is around 9:25pm in June, so a summer drinks bar can run into the evening in daylight. For a bar running past dusk, ask the venue about outdoor lighting.
- First, we check your date.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- We tidy up at the end.
