About the menu
Margaritas
The margarita is the heart of a Mexican bar.
Tamarind and fruit waters
Fruit waters are a fresh alcohol-free option.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.

Bilting questions
Which station is closest to Bilting?

Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you check ages at the bar?
Yes. Under-18s are not served alcohol, and we may refuse service to anyone who has had too much.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Can you plan for allergies?

Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.

We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a quote.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
