Mexican bar hire for your event in Thorncombe Street
Margaritas are the centrepiece: lime, tequila and orange liqueur, served cold, with or without a salted rim. It works well for wedding receptions and evening parties and garden parties, with agua de jamaica, aguas frescas and Mexican beer.
In a rural spot like Thorncombe Street, drinks can be served from our truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, as long as we can get in. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

For event organisers in Thorncombe Street
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

How it works
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. By late September, sunset in Thorncombe Street comes at roughly 7:05pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:55pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
- We talk licensing through with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- You get a suggested drinks menu and a quote.
- We arrive, set up and serve margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
- After service, we clear the bar away.
Preparing for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

Thorncombe Street: your questions answered
Will you travel to a small place like Thorncombe Street?
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.
Which station is closest to Thorncombe Street?
Godalming station, about 2.3 miles north-west of the centre.
Who handles the licensing?
It depends on the venue. Some venues have a premises licence; others need a Temporary Event Notice. We’ll go through the licensing with you.
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’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
How much is the bar?
We quote for each event, based on numbers, drinks and hours. Contact us for a quote.
Can we book the bar without food?
You can. Book the bar on its own, or with our Mexican catering.
Do you follow the rules on serving alcohol?
Responsible serving comes first: under-18s get alcohol-free drinks only, and we offer water and alcohol-free choices throughout.

Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Distance and access to the venue
- The number of people
- Food, drinks or both
- The length of service
Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

- What you’d like on the menu
- What power and water the site has
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

Mexican bar hire or something else?
