Mexican bar hire in Budds
How our Mexican bar hire works in Budds
The drinks menu is agreed with you, to suit your guests and timings. Share your ideas and we will suggest a menu. It works well for festivals and fairs and milestone birthdays, with soft drinks, aguas frescas and alcohol-free drinks.
For a country party near Budds, a drinks bar in a garden or field sets the mood. Let us know about access and soft ground. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Common questions in Budds
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Giles: can you cater afterwards?
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 come to events 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.
How spicy is the food?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
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.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.

We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Sunset in Budds is around 9:20pm in June, so a summer drinks bar can run into the evening in daylight. String lights or lanterns near the hatch make a later bar easier to find.
