About our Mexican bar hire in Upper Clatford
Serving alcohol at events needs a licence: either the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We go through the licensing with you before the day. It works well for wedding drinks receptions and fairs and community events, with aguas frescas, horchata and agua de jamaica.
For a country party near Upper Clatford, a drinks bar in a garden or field sets the mood. Let us know about access and soft ground. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Planning the bar
A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:
- Plan any Temporary Event Notice well ahead
- Give us numbers for children
- Serve food alongside the drinks
- Share taxi numbers with guests
If timings change, tell us and we’ll adjust.

What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run behind, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. A summer drinks reception in Upper Clatford has daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. In late September it is dark around 7:10pm, and in December by about 4:00pm, so evening bars need lighting.
- We check availability.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site

What Mexican bar hire costs
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Timings and hours
- The number of people
- Food, drinks or both
- How many staff you need
There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican bar hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
