How our Mexican bar hire works in Dungate
Aguas frescas are light, fruity drinks: hibiscus agua de jamaica, horchata, tamarind and fruit waters. They’re alcohol-free, so every guest can enjoy them. It works well for product launches and client events and staff parties, with Mexican beer, soft drinks and agua de jamaica.
Near Dungate, a drinks bar suits gardens, barns and marquees, given access. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
How it compares
A generic bar does the job, but margaritas and aguas frescas give the bar character. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why us?
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- Catering across Kent, including Dungate

For planners, venues and organisers

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
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 Dungate
Could you serve in Cromers Wood?
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.
Do you come out to small places like Dungate?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Send us a picture of the access and the space, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll recommend how to serve.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
What’s on the menu?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Planning the bar
A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:
- Tell us when the bar should open and close
- Plan transport home for guests
- Ask your venue about its licence early
- Serve food alongside the drinks
Responsible serving comes first: under-18s are not served alcohol, and nor is anyone who has had too much.
Extra bar staff for busy events.

Step by step
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. At midsummer, it is light in Dungate until about 9:15pm, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. In late September it’s dark around 7:00pm, and in December by about 3:50pm, so evening bars need lighting.

- Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
- You get a suggested drinks menu and a quote.
- On the day we set up the bar and our bar staff serve your guests.
