How our Mexican bar hire works in Chilham
Our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, served by our bar staff. You can book it alone or with our Mexican catering. It works well for end-of-year parties and staff parties, serving margaritas, soft drinks and alcohol-free drinks.
In a rural spot like Chilham, drinks can be served from our truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, given access. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Popular choices
Horchata
A comforting alcohol-free drink; ask us about allergens.
Soft drinks
There’s always something alcohol-free.
Chilham: your questions answered
Is Chilham close to London?
It’s about 49 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
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’ll check the access.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain doesn’t usually stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Do you do drinks only?
Yes. Book the bar on its own.
What we need at the venue
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Level, firm ground for the bar set-up
- Licensing checked with you before the day
- Space for guests to queue at the bar
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Margaritas
- Agua de jamaica (hibiscus)
- Fruit aguas frescas
- Mexican beer
- Soft drinks
- Horchata
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.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Planning drinks for every guest
A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:

- Check how alcohol will be licensed at your venue
We can give allergen information for every drink.

Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Guest numbers
- Timings and hours
- Staff for serving and the bar
- The menu you choose
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we will set out what’s included.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Your menu ideas
- What power and water the site has
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
The process
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. Winter receptions in Chilham are dark by about 3:50pm in December, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. Midsummer is the opposite, with daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We go through the licensing with you.
- You choose the drinks with us.
- We serve drinks responsibly on the day.
- We pack down when the bar closes.
How to prepare
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Tell us when you want service to start
