A Mexican drinks bar in Etchinghill: local tips
Etchinghill is about 3 miles north of Hythe, in Kent. Across the CT18 area, we can bring the truck or trailer to you. We cater in all 922 towns and villages across Kent. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 12 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Acrise Place (2.4 miles north-east) and Westenhanger Castle (3 miles south-west). Before booking a historic venue, find out whether it lets an outside bar bring a vehicle on site. Older venues around Etchinghill may restrict vehicles and outside drinks service, so confirm what’s allowed before you book. With the Kent Downs National Landscape within about 4 miles, a countryside drinks reception is an option. Check how the venue handles outside bars and vehicles. The coast is within about 4 miles of Etchinghill. Wind, sand and the rules on alcohol in public places all need planning for a seaside bar.

Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. By late September, sunset in Etchinghill comes at roughly 7:00pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. In late May, it stays light until about 8:45pm.
- We check availability.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We tidy up at the end.

Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
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.
