Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Timings and hours
- Guest numbers
- Travel, parking and access
- Whether you need disposables
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote

- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Approximate guest numbers, including children

- The date and rough timings
The quickest way to a quote is to tell us about it on our contact page. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll put together a menu and price.
Is Mexican bar hire right for your event?
A self-service drinks table is simple but can run dry or go warm. A staffed bar keeps everything under control. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we’ll set out what’s included.

Ashford: your questions answered
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues 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.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Christ Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we will talk it through.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Is the food very hot?
That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
The menu, item by item
Margaritas
The margarita is the heart of a Mexican bar.
Tamarind and fruit waters
Fruit waters are a fresh alcohol-free option.
The process
Your timings come first. If things run behind, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. A summer drinks reception in Ashford has daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. By late September, sunset is about 7:00pm, and in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting around the bar.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
- You get a suggested drinks menu and a quote.
- We arrive, set up and serve margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
- When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Tell us what power and water the site has
How to get a price
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, use our quote form.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Ashford: venues, access and licensing
Ashford is in Kent. Tell us where your event in Ashford will be, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up before the day. Ashford is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. We cater right across the region, from Ashford to Canterbury (about 13 miles away).
Couples leaving a church such as Christ Church could be greeted with margaritas and aguas frescas at the reception. A gathering in Ashford Green Corridors? Check the park’s rules first, as alcohol and vehicles normally need permission. With the Kent Downs National Landscape within about 5 miles, a countryside drinks reception is an option. Check how the venue handles outside bars and vehicles.
We cater events across TN23, TN24, TN25 and TN26. Your event could be at a home on Market Lane, Church Road and Station Road.
