Mexican bar hire for your event in Thakeham
Aguas frescas are Mexico’s fresh fruit and flower drinks: hibiscus agua de jamaica, horchata, tamarind and fruit waters. They’re alcohol-free, so every guest can enjoy them. For mexican-themed parties and winter celebrations, we will put together a menu of agua de jamaica, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Near Thakeham, a drinks bar suits gardens, barns and marquees, given access. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

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.

How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.

We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
What does a Mexican bar cost?
There is no fixed price list, because every event is different. Tell us your plans for a quote.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.

For a drinks-led event, rail details help, and the nearest station is Pulborough station, about 4.1 miles west. Couples leaving a church such as The Parish Church of St Mary could be greeted with margaritas and aguas frescas at the reception. An outdoor bar near the South Downs National Park, within about 6 miles of Thakeham, needs firm ground and a way in, plus the right licensing, which we’ll check with you.
We cover events in every part of the RH20 postcode area and the streets around it. From The Street, Bramble Lane and Cray's Lane or anywhere nearby, we can bring Mexican bar hire there, given access.

What we need at the venue
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

How we price Mexican bar hire
We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- How long we are needed on site
- Parking and the route in
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

- The date and time of the event
- Diets and allergies you know about

We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.

How the day works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A picture of the space helps. A late-September party in Thakeham loses the light at about 7:05pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:50pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We go through the licensing with you.
- You choose the drinks with us.
- We serve drinks responsibly on the day.
- We clear the bar at the end.
Getting ready for the day

Tips for a smooth bar
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:

- Make sure there’s water for guests
- Serve food alongside the drinks
- Share taxi numbers with guests
We can give allergen information for every drink.
A welcome margarita as guests arrive, licensing permitting.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
