Mexican bar hire for Yelsted events
Mexican bar hire in Yelsted, from our truck or trailer
Serving alcohol at events needs a licence: either the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We talk licensing through with you before the day. It suits engagement celebrations and launch parties, serving soft drinks, horchata and agua de jamaica.
Near Yelsted, a drinks bar suits a garden, barn or field party. Let us know about access and soft ground. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.
Planning the serving area
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- The right licence for alcohol: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice
- Firm, level ground where we can set up
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
On the menu in Yelsted
- Horchata
- Mexican beer
- Fruit aguas frescas
- Agua de jamaica (hibiscus)
- Soft drinks
- Margaritas
Drinks planning tips
Some planning tips for the drinks:
- Give the council notice in good time for a Temporary Event Notice
- Collect allergy details in advance
- Check how alcohol will be licensed at your venue
- Serve food alongside the drinks
Responsible serving comes first: under-18s are not served alcohol, and nor is anyone who has had too much.
Soft drinks for drivers.
Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.

What happens on the day
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We’re ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. In December, the light goes in Yelsted at about 3:50pm, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:15pm.
- We check availability.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
