How our Mexican bar hire works in Calcott
Alcohol at an event needs the right licence: either the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We talk licensing through with you before the day. On the menu are aguas frescas, soft drinks and horchata, and it is a good fit for summer garden parties and licensed festivals.
Near Calcott, 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.

What else we do in Calcott
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.

Planning a drinks bar in Calcott
Calcott is about 3 miles south of Herne Bay, in Kent. From the centre of Calcott to the outskirts, Mexican bar hire works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We cover all 922 towns and villages in Kent, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
If you are looking at a historic venue around Calcott, check its rules on outside bars and vehicles early. Serving alcohol in Curtis Wood would need the owner’s permission and probably a licence, so a garden or venue is often simpler. Drinks by the sea could work, as Calcott is within about 4 miles of the coast. Licensing on the seafront needs checking, and we’ll do that with you.

Common questions in Calcott
Is it possible to have you in Curtis Wood?
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 will send what they need from us.
Can you serve near the sea around Calcott?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
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 margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will check the licensing with you.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you bring staff to serve the drinks?
We bring bar staff.
Can we have the bar on its own?
You can. The bar can be booked on its own, or with our Mexican catering.
The process
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We’re ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule. In December, the light goes in Calcott at about 3:50pm, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. Midsummer is the opposite, with daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We talk through licensing with you.
- You choose the drinks with us.
- We serve drinks responsibly on the day.
- We clear the bar at the end.
Before we arrive
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
