Mexican bar hire for your event in Upham
The margarita is the star of the bar: lime, tequila and orange liqueur, served cold. On the menu are alcohol-free drinks, margaritas and Mexican beer, which works well for end-of-year parties and engagement celebrations.
For a country party near Upham, a drinks bar in a garden or field sets the mood. Let us know about access and soft ground. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
How we price Mexican bar hire
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Travel, parking and access
- How many staff you need
- The number of people
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican bar hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The date and rough timings
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Where the event is
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
Planning drinks for every guest
A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:
- Ensure there’s water for guests
- Include aguas frescas for non-drinkers
- Find out if you need a Temporary Event Notice
- Give us numbers for children
Responsible serving comes first: under-18s aren’t served alcohol, and nor is anyone who has had too much.

A Mexican drinks bar in Upham: local tips
Upham is about 5 miles east of Eastleigh, in Hampshire. Wherever your event is in the SO32 area, we can bring the truck or trailer to you, as long as there is access. We serve in all 683 towns and villages in Hampshire. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 8 miles away.
For guests coming by train, Hedge End station is about 4.4 miles away. Once the ceremony at a church like Church of St Mary is over, guests may be glad of a cold drink at the reception venue.
Wherever your event is in SO32, we can bring Mexican bar hire to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Church Street, Shoe Lane and Widlers Lane or the roads around them. Nearby, we also cater events in Ashton (1 mile south-east), Lower Upham (1 mile south-west), Wintershill (2 miles south-west), Durley Street (2 miles south-west) and Bishop's Waltham (2 miles south-east). Further out, we also cater in Winchester (6 miles north-west), Gosport (13 miles south), Havant (14 miles south-east), Eastleigh (5 miles west), Fareham (9 miles south) and Horndean (11 miles south-east).

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Questions from Upham
Do you come out to small places like Upham?
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.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
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 will check the access.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
Do we need a licence for the bar?
That depends on your venue. Some venues have a premises licence; others need a Temporary Event Notice. We will go through the licensing with you.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Hampshire. Find your area.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so contact us early.
What happens on the day
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain doesn’t generally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Evening drinks in Upham stay light until about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so a summer drinks bar can run into the evening in daylight. String lights or lanterns near the hatch make a later bar easier to find.
- We check availability.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We tidy up at the end.
How to prepare
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
