Mexican bar hire in Totton, from our food truck or trailer
A Mexican drinks bar brings margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas to your event, served by our bar staff. It works on its own or alongside our food. We serve Mexican beer, soft drinks and horchata, and it suits summer garden parties and big birthday celebrations.
In a town like Totton, a drinks bar suits garden parties, club and hall events, and receptions. The venue needs to allow us on site and have level ground. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Planning a drinks bar in Totton
Totton is about 5 miles west of Southampton, in Hampshire. Give us the address of your event in Totton, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up before the day. We serve in all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire.
Nearby historic houses include Southampton Tudor House and Garden (4.5 miles east) and Medieval Merchant's House (4.6 miles east). Many listed venues control who serves drinks on their premises, so ask yours what it allows. Couples leaving a church such as Church of St Winfred could be greeted with margaritas and aguas frescas at the reception. An outdoor bar near the New Forest National Park, within about 5 miles of Totton, needs firm ground and a way in, plus the right licensing, which we’ll check with you. With the sea within about 5 miles, a seaside drinks reception is an option. Seafront spots generally need permission, especially for alcohol, and the truck or trailer needs firm ground.

- Somewhere to park and unload nearby
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

Common questions in Totton
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Winfred?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Can you serve near the sea around Totton?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades generally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Will someone run the bar?
Our bar staff run the bar. Responsible serving comes first.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
