Mexican bar hire for Birchington events
Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

How we price Mexican bar hire
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Food, drinks or both
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Roughly how many adults and children
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just send a quick message through our quote form.
Comparing your options
Leaving guests to bring their own is easy but unpredictable. A staffed bar means everyone is served. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Birchington questions
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Which station should guests use for Birchington?
Guests can use Birchington-On-Sea station, which is right in Birchington.
What’s on the menu?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Can we have the bar on its own?
You can. The bar can be booked on its own, or with our Mexican catering.
Can children have drinks from the bar?
Yes. Aguas frescas and soft drinks are alcohol-free.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a quote.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Space, access and the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Details of power and water on site
- Access to unload close to the bar spot
- Firm, level ground where we can set up
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Soft drinks
- Mexican beer
- Horchata
- Fruit aguas frescas
- Agua de jamaica (hibiscus)

For event organisers in Birchington
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Step by step
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. Winter receptions in Birchington are dark by about 3:50pm in December, so plan where guests will gather, and how it will be lit. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:15pm.
- First, we check your date.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
Getting ready for the day
