Mexican bar hire in Alkham
FAQs for Alkham
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can you serve near the sea around Alkham?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you do dairy-free food?
We can. We offer dairy-free options, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
Do you do drinks only?
Of course. Ask about adding tacos and burritos.
Who clears up?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
How our Mexican bar hire works in Alkham
Responsible serving matters to us: no alcohol for under-18s, and plenty of alcohol-free choices. Popular choices include margaritas, alcohol-free drinks and horchata, which works well for anniversaries and engagements and festivals and fairs.
Near Alkham, a drinks bar suits a garden, barn or field party. Tell us about the ground, gates, power and water. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
Prices and what affects them
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Parking and the route in
- Your choice of food and drinks
- How many guests we’re serving
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Getting an accurate quote

- What you’d like on the menu
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The date and time of the event

Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just drop us a line using the enquiry form.
The process
Here’s how the day typically runs: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. A summer drinks reception in Alkham has daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, ideal for drinks outdoors. By late September, sunset is about 7:00pm, and in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting around the bar.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
- We go through the licensing with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- We put together a drinks menu, with alcohol-free choices, and quote for it.
- We arrive, set up and serve margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
- After service, we clear the bar away.

Comparing your options
DIY drinks tables are easy but need constant topping up. A staffed bar keeps everything under control. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
