How our Mexican bar hire works in Chilmington Green
Aguas frescas are Mexico’s fresh fruit and flower drinks: agua de jamaica made with hibiscus, horchata, tamarind and fruit waters. They’re a good alcohol-free choice for everyone. On the menu are soft drinks, aguas frescas and alcohol-free drinks, which works well for weddings, day or evening and engagement celebrations.
Near Chilmington Green, a drinks bar suits gardens, barns and marquees, given access. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Questions from Chilmington Green
Do you cater in villages like Chilmington Green?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- The venue’s permission for an outside bar
- Access to unload close to the bar spot
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Planning a drinks bar in Chilmington Green
Chilmington Green is about 2 miles west of Ashford, in Kent. Across the TN23 area, we’ll come to your venue or site. We cater in all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 15 miles away.
Serving alcohol in Ashford Community Woodland would need the owner’s permission and probably a licence, so a garden or venue is often simpler. Anyone leaving the car at home will want to know that Ashford International station is about 2.3 miles away. An outdoor bar near the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 7 miles of Chilmington Green, needs firm ground and a way in, plus the right licensing, which we’ll check with you.
For Mexican bar hire in TN23, we plan around your venue and the route in. Streets in the area include Mock Lane, Oakwood Mews and Hays Mews, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby.

How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. A late-September party in Chilmington Green loses the light at about 7:00pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:45pm.
