Mexican bar hire for your event in Aylesford
Alcohol at an event needs the right licence: either the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We’ll check the licensing with you. On the menu are horchata, aguas frescas and Mexican beer, and it suits end-of-year parties and wedding receptions and evening parties.
In Aylesford, a drinks bar works at home or in a local hall. Aguas frescas and soft drinks cover guests who are not drinking alcohol. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
Planning the serving area
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- Licensing checked with you before the day
- A clear area in front of the bar
- Access to unload close to the bar spot
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices

Aylesford questions
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Could you serve in Ditton Quarry?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
How big an event can you cater?
Our truck and trailer service generally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
