Planning a drinks bar in Thatcham

Thatcham is about 12 miles north-west of Basingstoke, in West Berkshire. Across the RG19 area, we’ll come to your venue or site, as long as there is access. We cover all 155 towns and villages across West Berkshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater right across the region, from Thatcham to Basingstoke (about 12 miles away).

Nearby historic houses include Shaw House (2.7 miles west) and Benham Park (4.8 miles west). Many listed venues control who serves drinks on their premises, so ask yours what it allows. A drinks bar at a garden or hall near a church like United Reformed Church gives guests something to enjoy while photos are taken.

Here we cover the RG19 and RG18 postcode area. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on High Street, Station Road and Flagstaff Square. Thatcham sits on or near the A4, so getting the truck or trailer to your event is simple. We also serve at events in Benham Hill (1 mile west), Ashmore Green (2 miles north-west), Cold Ash (2 miles north), Upper Bucklebury (2 miles north-east) and Stone Copse (2 miles north-west). We also cater in nearby towns such as Newbury (3 miles west), Burghfield Common (8 miles east), Speenhamland (3 miles west), Hungerford (11 miles west), Spencers Wood (12 miles east) and Calcot (9 miles east). Thatcham is among the bigger towns we cover in West Berkshire, with lots of choice for events.

Well-known places in the area include Old Chapel Textile Centre (2.2 miles south-west) and West Berkshire Community Hospital (1.5 miles west). The countryside around Thatcham includes Nature Discovery Centre.

  • Local schools include Kennet School (less than half a mile east)

Tips for a smooth bar

To get the most from the bar, it helps to:

  • Share taxi numbers with guests
  • Pair the bar with hot food
  • Allow time for a Temporary Event Notice if one is needed
  • Check how alcohol will be licensed at your venue

We serve responsibly: no alcohol for under-18s, and we may refuse service to anyone who has had too much.

Alcohol-free aguas frescas for all ages.

Perfect for your event in Thatcham

A themed bar adds a talking point.

Whatever the occasion, the serving truck can be a highlight. We are happy to cater:

  • Summer garden parties
  • Taco nights and themed parties
  • Licensed festivals

Questions to ask before booking

Working with your venue

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Thatcham? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.

For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.

How the day works

Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. Sunset in Thatcham is around 9:25pm in June, so a summer drinks bar can run into the evening in daylight. String lights or lanterns near the hatch make a later bar easier to find.

  1. You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
  2. Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
  3. We suggest a drinks list and send a quote.
  4. On the day, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
  5. After service, we clear the bar away.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
  • Share the running order, including any speeches
  • Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Ask for a quote

Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

About the menu

Margaritas

Margaritas suit a summer evening.

Tamarind and fruit waters

A light drink for hot days.

DIY taco night or a caterer?

Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

FAQs for Thatcham

What’s the nearest station to Thatcham for guests?

Guests can use Thatcham station, about 0.9 miles south-east of Thatcham.

Could you serve our guests after a service at United Reformed Church?

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 have options for kids?

Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will suggest mild options.

Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?

Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.

Do you cater for coeliacs?

Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.

How spicy is the food?

We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.

What’s on the drinks menu?

Margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We plan the list with you.

How long do you serve for?

It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.

Before you choose a spot

Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:

  • Firm, level ground where we can set up
  • Some distance from houses and neighbours
  • Somewhere to park and unload nearby
