How we price Mexican bar hire
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The menu you choose
- Parking and the route in
- Staff for serving and the bar
- The length of service
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

How the day works
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. Winter receptions in Vines Cross are dark by about 3:55pm in December, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. Midsummer is the opposite, with daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We go through the licensing with you.
- We agree a drinks menu.
- We serve drinks responsibly on the day.
- We clear the bar at the end.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
