Mexican bar hire in Tongwell
How our Mexican bar hire works in Tongwell
Serving alcohol at events needs a licence: a premises licence at the venue, or a Temporary Event Notice. We talk licensing through with you before the day. On the menu are Mexican beer, soft drinks and aguas frescas, and it is a good fit for wedding receptions and evening parties and milestone birthdays.
In a rural spot like Tongwell, 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 check the licensing with you. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Questions from Tongwell
Which station is closest to Tongwell?
Guests can use Milton Keynes Central station, about 3 miles south-west of Tongwell.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Campbell Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
Can we have the bar on its own?
Of course. Ask about adding tacos and burritos.
What drinks do you serve?
Our bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t typically stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.

Step by step
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. A late-September party in Tongwell loses the light at about 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.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
- We put together a drinks menu, with alcohol-free choices, and quote for it.
- On the day, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
- After service, we clear the bar away.
Preparing for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
How to get a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
