Mexican bar hire for Cranbrook events
How our Mexican bar hire works in Cranbrook
Pair the bar with our Mexican catering for tacos, burritos and nachos, so food and drinks come from one booking. At staff parties and wedding receptions and evening parties, we will put together a menu of margaritas, soft drinks and horchata.
A drinks bar makes a party in Cranbrook easy and sociable. Let us know about access and power. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Cranbrook: your questions answered
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Crane Valley?
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 will send what they need from us.
How far is Cranbrook from central London?
It is about 39 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
How much does the drinks bar cost?
Every bar is quoted for individually, depending on guests, drinks and timings. Contact us for a quote.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Can we book the bar without food?
Of course. Ask about adding tacos and burritos.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
Do you provide bar staff?
Yes, our bar staff serve your guests. They serve responsibly.
How spicy is the food?
It is up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Drinks bars for events in Cranbrook
Cranbrook is about 12 miles south of Maidstone, in Kent. From the centre of Cranbrook to the outskirts, Mexican bar hire works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Cranbrook is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. We cater right across the region, from Cranbrook to Canterbury (27 miles away).
If you have your heart set on Crane Valley, ask the people who run it about vehicles, alcohol and licensing first. Once the ceremony at a church like Congregational Church is over, guests may be glad of a cold drink at the reception venue. Cranbrook is within about a mile of the High Weald National Landscape, a lovely setting for drinks outdoors. Ask your venue about vehicle access for the truck or trailer.
We serve at events all over the TN17 and TN18 postcode area. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on High Street, Crane Lane and White Lion Yard. Nearby, we also cater events in Baker's Cross (1 mile east), Coursehorn (1 mile east), Swattenden (1 mile south), Hartley (1 mile south-west) and Gill's Green (3 miles south-west). Further out, we also cater in Maidstone (12 miles north), Ashford (15 miles east), Royal Tunbridge Wells (12 miles west), Tonbridge (13 miles north-west), Kings Hill (13 miles north-west) and Foley Park (13 miles north).
A little further out are Sissinghurst Castle (2.5 miles north-east) and Benenden Hospital (3.6 miles east).

The margarita is the heart of a Mexican bar.

Step by step
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain doesn’t typically stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. At midsummer, it’s light in Cranbrook until about 9:15pm, ideal for drinks outdoors. By late September, sunset is about 7:00pm, and in December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting around the bar.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- We check the licensing with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- You get a suggested drinks menu and a quote.
- On the day we set up the bar and our bar staff serve your guests.
- After service, we clear the bar away.
Preparing for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
