Mexican bar hire for Chitty events
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Mexican bar hire in Chitty, from our truck or trailer
Aguas frescas are light, fruity drinks: hibiscus agua de jamaica, horchata, tamarind and fruit waters. They’re alcohol-free, so every guest can enjoy them. It suits mexican-themed parties and garden get-togethers, serving agua de jamaica, margaritas and soft drinks.
Near Chitty, a drinks bar suits a garden, barn or field party. Let us know about access and soft ground. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Comparing your options
Bring-your-own is simple but uneven. A staffed bar means everyone is served, including non-drinkers. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Why book with us
- Options for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- Menus chosen with you
- Access, space and power checked in advance

Step by step
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A picture of the space helps. Winter receptions in Chitty are dark by about 3:50pm in December, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:15pm.
- We check availability.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Chitty is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring Mexican bar hire. We cater right across the region, from Chitty to Canterbury (about 7 miles away).
Guests travelling by rail: the nearest station is Herne Bay station, about 4 miles north-west. Couples leaving a church such as Church of St Mary the Virgin could be greeted with margaritas and aguas frescas at the reception.

Your questions about Mexican bar hire in Chitty
Could you come to a seaside event near Chitty?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots normally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Grove Ferry Picnic Area?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Do you do drinks only?
Yes, though it pairs well with tacos. Our Mexican catering can be added too.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we will talk it through.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
