Mexican bar hire in Winklebury, served fresh
Mexican beer is served cold, with a wedge of lime if guests like, and it pairs well with tacos. At big birthday celebrations and winter celebrations, we can serve aguas frescas, alcohol-free drinks and soft drinks for your guests.
Around Winklebury, a drinks bar suits garden parties and village-hall celebrations. Aguas frescas and soft drinks cover guests who are not drinking alcohol. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

Winklebury: venues, access and licensing
Winklebury is about 1 mile west of Basingstoke, in Hampshire. Whether your event is in the middle of Winklebury or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote.

If you’re looking at a historic venue around Winklebury, check its rules on outside bars and vehicles early. If the service is at a church such as The Good Shepherd, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church.
Wherever your event is in RG23, RG22 and RG24, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. Whether your event is on Roman Road, Wayside Road and Worting Road or anywhere nearby, we will plan where to park and serve.

Other catering in Winklebury
Winklebury: your questions answered
We’re having a ceremony at The Good Shepherd: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Which station is closest to Winklebury?
Guests can use Basingstoke station, about 1.5 miles east of Winklebury.
Can we book the bar without food?
Yes, though it pairs well with tacos. Our Mexican catering can be added too.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food.
Tips for a smooth bar
A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:
- Let us know how many non-drinkers to expect
- Make sure there is water for guests
- Add food if the bar runs for a while
- Tell us when the bar should open and close
We serve responsibly: no alcohol for under-18s, and we may refuse service to anyone who has had too much.
Margaritas for the drinks reception, licensing permitting.
