How our Mexican bar hire works in Clapper Hill
We plan the drinks list together, to suit your guests and timings. Share your ideas and we’ll suggest a menu. It suits weddings, day or evening and company summer parties, with soft drinks, aguas frescas and margaritas.
In a rural spot like Clapper Hill, drinks can be served from our food truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, as long as we can get in. We’ll talk licensing through with you. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Step by step
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. Evening drinks in Clapper Hill stay light until about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, which suits an outdoor bar. For a bar running past dusk, ask the venue about outdoor lighting.

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

What else we do in Clapper Hill
A Mexican drinks bar in Clapper Hill: local tips
Clapper Hill is about 10 miles west of Ashford, in Kent. Wherever your event is in the TN27 area, we’ll come to your venue or site. Clapper Hill is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Clapper Hill to Canterbury (23 miles away).
Older venues around Clapper Hill may restrict vehicles and outside drinks service, so confirm what’s allowed before booking. Serving alcohol in Wattle Wood would need the owner’s permission and probably a licence, so a garden or venue is often simpler. An outdoor bar near the High Weald National Landscape, within about 5 miles of Clapper Hill, needs firm ground and a way in, plus the right licensing, which we’ll check with you.
Anywhere in TN27, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. For events just outside Clapper Hill, we cover Fosten Green (1 mile west), East End (1 mile south-west), Parkgate (1 mile south-east), London Beach (2 miles east) and Strood (3 miles south). Further out, we also cater in Maidstone (13 miles north), Ashford (10 miles east), Foley Park (14 miles north), Paddock Wood (12 miles north-west), Tenterden (3 miles south-east) and Bearsted (12 miles north).
Well-known places in the area include Mervyn Quinlan Museum (1.2 miles south-west) and Sissinghurst Castle (2.8 miles north-west).
DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

Common questions in Clapper Hill
Could you serve in Wattle Wood?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Is Clapper Hill close to London?
It is about 42 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you follow the rules on serving alcohol?
Yes. Under-18s are not served alcohol, and we may refuse service to anyone who has had too much.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
What does a Mexican bar cost?
We quote for each event, based on numbers, drinks and hours. For a price, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
What about power on site?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
Can you plan for allergies?
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. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Is the food very hot?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Planning drinks for every guest
A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:
- Find out if you need a Temporary Event Notice
- Add food if the bar runs for a while
- Allow time for a Temporary Event Notice if one is needed
- Let us know how many non-drinkers to expect
We arrive in good time to set up the bar, so drinks are ready when you are.
Ask us about glassware or cups and we’ll confirm the options with your quote.

If you’re serving Mexican food, margaritas and Mexican beer fit perfectly. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.
