Mexican bar hire in Upton
How the day works
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. At midsummer, it’s light in Upton until about 9:20pm, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. In late September it is dark around 7:05pm, and in December by about 3:50pm, so evening bars need lighting.
- 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.
- You get a suggested drinks menu and a quote.
- On the day we set up the bar and our bar staff serve your guests.
- We pack away when the bar shuts and leave the area tidy.
How to prepare
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve

Space, access and the venue
We will be honest if a space won’t work, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- The right licence for alcohol: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Space for guests to queue at the bar
In Upton, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
On the menu in Upton
- Horchata
- Mexican beer
- Soft drinks
- Margaritas
- Fruit aguas frescas
- Agua de jamaica (hibiscus)

Do we need a licence for the bar?
You will need either the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We will go through the licensing with you. See GOV.UK for Temporary Event Notices.

Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.

A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
What drinks do you serve?
Margaritas and Mexican beer, with aguas frescas like horchata and agua de jamaica.

Planning the bar
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Ask your venue about its licence early
- Share bar opening times
- Share taxi numbers with guests
- Add food if the bar runs for a while
Responsible serving comes first: no alcohol for under-18s, and we may refuse service to anyone who has had too much.
Soft drinks for drivers.
Why choose Mexican bar hire in Upton?
