Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
About our Mexican bar hire in Claygate
We set up the bar at events in and around Claygate: from weddings and parties to work events. For weddings, day or evening and staff parties, we can serve margaritas, aguas frescas and horchata and more.
Near Claygate, a drinks bar suits gardens, barns and marquees, as long as we can get in. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
How it works
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. A late-September party in Claygate loses the light at about 7:00pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:50pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
- We go through the licensing with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- We put together a drinks menu, with alcohol-free choices, and quote for it.
- We arrive, set up and serve margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
- We pack away when the bar shuts and leave the area tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

Claygate questions
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Margaret: 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.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll suggest mild options.
How big an event can you cater?
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 will advise.
Who handles the licensing?
Alcohol at an event needs the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We will talk licensing through with you. GOV.UK explains Temporary Event Notices.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a picture and we’ll talk it through.
