About our Mexican bar hire in The Stocks
Pair the bar with our Mexican catering for tacos, burritos and nachos, so you deal with one team. It works well for licensed festivals and wedding drinks receptions, with margaritas, agua de jamaica and aguas frescas.
In a rural spot like The Stocks, drinks can be served from our food truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, as long as we can get in. We’ll go through the licensing with you. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
How the day works
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule. Winter receptions in The Stocks are dark by about 3:50pm in December, so plan where guests will gather, and how it will be lit. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:15pm.
