Mexican bar hire in Whetsted
Mexican bar hire in Whetsted, from our truck or trailer
Our bar travels to events across Whetsted and nearby: from weddings and parties to work events. It works well for client events and launches and end-of-year and Christmas parties, serving aguas frescas, margaritas and horchata.
In a rural spot like Whetsted, drinks can be served from our food truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, as long as we can get in. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Popular choices

A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Your menu ideas
- Roughly how many adults and children
- What power and water the site has
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. In December, the light goes in Whetsted at about 3:55pm, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:15pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We talk through licensing with you.
- We agree a drinks menu.
- Our bar staff serve your guests at the agreed times.
- We clear the bar at the end.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
Ask for a quote
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

Whetsted: your questions answered
Is it possible to have you in Foal Hurst Wood?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Will you travel to a small place like Whetsted?
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.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will talk licensing through with you.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. 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. Read our taco bar guide.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
How much does the drinks bar cost?
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. Tell us your plans for a quote.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
