Mexican bar hire in Church Hougham, served fresh
Alcohol at an event needs the right licence: a premises licence at the venue, or a Temporary Event Notice. We go through the licensing with you before the day. For anniversaries and engagements and fairs and community events, we’ll put together a menu of aguas frescas, soft drinks and margaritas.
Near Church Hougham, a drinks bar suits a garden, barn or field party. Tell us about the ground, gates, power and water. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
What happens on the day
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. In December, the light goes in Church Hougham at about 3:50pm, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. Midsummer is the opposite, with daylight until about 9:15pm.
- First, we check your date.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We tidy up at the end.
Preparing for the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Church Hougham questions
Is it possible to have you in Samphire Hoe Country Park?
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’ll send what they need from us.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Lawrence: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not 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.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
Do you have alcohol-free drinks?
Always. Aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata are alcohol-free, along with soft drinks.
What’s on the drinks menu?
Our bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.

We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- Guest numbers

Planning the bar
A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:
- Ask your venue about its licence early
- Check allergies with guests, including for drinks

Church Hougham is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we can bring Mexican bar hire. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 14 miles away.
Guests travelling by rail: the nearest station is Dover Priory station, about 2.3 miles north-east. If the service is at a church such as Church of St Lawrence, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church.
