About our Mexican bar hire in Thornhill
The margarita is the star of the bar: lime, tequila and orange liqueur, served cold. It works well for licensed festivals and end-of-year and Christmas parties, with agua de jamaica, aguas frescas and horchata.
For a party in a place like Thornhill, a drinks bar is easy and sociable. Tell us about the drive, gates and power. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Thornhill questions
Could you serve in Westwood Woodland Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Which station should guests use for Thornhill?
Guests can use Sholing station, about 1.4 miles south-west of Thornhill.
Can you come to a private house?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we’ll keep their options separate.
What does Mexican bar hire cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Planning the bar
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Tell us when the bar should open and close
- Serve food alongside the drinks
- Have plenty of water available
- Plan any Temporary Event Notice well ahead
We arrive in good time to set up the bar, so drinks are ready when you are.
Margaritas for the drinks reception, licensing permitting.
Who books Mexican bar hire in Thornhill?
A themed bar adds a talking point, more than a standard bar.
Whatever you’re celebrating in Thornhill, the serving truck can be a highlight. We’re happy to cater:
- Launch parties
- Big birthday celebrations
- End-of-year parties
- Mexican-themed parties
Serving alcohol in Westwood Woodland Park would need the owner’s permission and probably a licence, so a garden or venue is often simpler.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if it rains
- If the price includes VAT
- Payment terms and deposit
- The caterer’s food hygiene rating
