Is Mexican bar hire right for your event?
A self-service drinks table is simple but can run dry or go warm. Bar staff keep drinks flowing and cold. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Take a look at how we price and our guide to catering costs.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run behind, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. A late-September party in Winchelsea loses the light at about 7:00pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. In late May, it stays light until about 8:45pm.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We talk through licensing with you.
- You choose the drinks with us.
- We serve drinks responsibly on the day.
- We pack down when the bar closes.
