Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How long we are needed on site
- Distance and access to the venue
- What’s on the menu
- What the venue already provides
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

Questions from Arpinge
How far is Arpinge from London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come to events 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.
What does a Mexican bar cost?
We don’t publish set prices, as each event is different. Send your details for a quote.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t generally stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
What does Mexican bar hire cost?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a quote.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
What we need at the venue
We will agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- The right licence for alcohol: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Why choose Mexican bar hire in Arpinge?
Bring-your-own is simple but uneven. A bar gives every guest a drink in hand, including non-drinkers. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
