Mexican bar hire in Ashford
Should I do it myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Mexican bar hire in Ashford, from our truck or trailer
Cold Mexican lagers come with lime on the side, and it pairs well with tacos. At client events and launches and summer garden parties, we’ll put together a menu of horchata, soft drinks and agua de jamaica for your guests.
For a country party near Ashford, a drinks bar in a garden or field sets the mood. Let us know about access and soft ground. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.
How it works
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. By late September, sunset in Ashford comes at roughly 7:10pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:55pm.
- First, we check your date.
- 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.
Preparing for the day

FAQs for Ashford
Can you cater a reception after a service at Sandleheath Village Hall?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Do you cater in villages like Ashford?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
What’s on the drinks menu?
Margaritas and Mexican beer, with aguas frescas like horchata and agua de jamaica, plus alcohol-free choices.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Planning drinks for every guest
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
