Mexican bar hire in Dartford, 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. Popular choices include agua de jamaica, margaritas and Mexican beer, which works well for mexican-themed parties and launch parties.
For celebrations in Dartford, a drinks bar alongside tacos makes a full menu. Let us know about the venue and the route in. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.
Drinks planning tips
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Tell us when the bar should open and close
- Pair the bar with hot food
- Make sure drivers have good choices
- Plan water alongside the bar
We arrive in good time to set up the bar, so drinks are ready when you are.
Alcohol-free aguas frescas for all ages.
Can I do a taco night myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Is Mexican bar hire right for your event?
A self-service drinks table is simple but can run dry or go warm. Bar staff keep drinks flowing and cold. There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican bar hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Why book with us
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch
- Quoted for your event
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- A plan agreed before the day

How it works
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests. By late September, sunset in Dartford comes at roughly 7:05pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:50pm.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
- We suggest a drinks list and send a quote.
- We arrive, set up and serve margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
- We pack away when the bar shuts and leave the area tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
