Mexican bar hire in Basted, served fresh
Serving alcohol at events needs a licence: either the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We talk licensing through with you before the day. At staff parties and big birthday celebrations, we will put together a menu of aguas frescas, alcohol-free drinks and margaritas and more.
Near Basted, a drinks bar suits a garden, barn or field party. Tell us about the ground, gates, power and water. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Prices and what affects them
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Food, drinks or both
- What the venue already provides
- How long we’re needed on site
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- What power and water the site has
- The date and rough timings
- Where the event is
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground

Basted questions
How far is Basted from London?
Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to Basted?
The closest is Borough Green & Wrotham station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Can you come to a private house?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: 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.
What does Mexican bar hire cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.

Horchata
A comforting alcohol-free drink.

Before you choose a spot
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A flat, firm spot for the bar
- Licensing checked with you before the day
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking

Working with your venue
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.

Comparing your options
Leaving guests to bring their own is easy but unpredictable. A bar gives every guest a drink in hand, including non-drinkers. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Service planned around your numbers
- A menu agreed with you
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- Allergen information for every dish
How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our truck or trailer, and get on with serving. A late-September party in Basted loses the light at about 7:00pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. In late May, it stays light until about 8:50pm.
