About our Mexican bar hire in Wilmington
The drinks menu is agreed with you, around your guests, your venue and your timings. Tell us what you have in mind. It works well for fairs and community events and wedding receptions and evening parties, serving agua de jamaica, Mexican beer and alcohol-free drinks.
In a rural spot like Wilmington, drinks can be served from our 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. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Working with your venue
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we will let you know if it’s a good fit.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- How many guests we are serving
- Distance and access to the venue
- Your choice of food and drinks
- How long we are needed on site
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Where the event is
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground

How the day works
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests. A late-September party in Wilmington loses the light at about 7:05pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:50pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
