Challock is about 5 miles north of Ashford, in Kent. For Mexican bar hire in Challock, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access in and around Challock. Challock is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring Mexican bar hire. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 10 miles away.
If the service is at a church such as Church of St Cosmas and St Damian, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church.

Before booking a historic venue, find out whether it lets an outside bar bring a vehicle on site.

Questions from Challock
Which station should guests use for Challock?
Guests can use Wye station, about 3.3 miles south-east of Challock.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Cosmas and St Damian: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Will someone run the bar?
Our bar staff run the bar. Responsible serving comes first.

Is Mexican bar hire right for your event?

Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
