Mexican bar hire for your event in Fant
Serving alcohol at events needs a licence: either the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We check the licensing with you before the day. It works well for launch parties and taco nights and themed parties, serving soft drinks, alcohol-free drinks and margaritas.
A drinks bar makes a party in Fant easy and sociable. Tell us about the drive, gates and power. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.
How the day works
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. In December, the light goes in Fant at about 3:50pm, so plan where guests will gather, and how it will be lit. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:15pm.

A Mexican drinks bar in Fant: local tips
Fant is about 2 miles west of Maidstone, in Kent. We cater events at gardens, halls and venues around Fant and the surrounding area. Fant is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring Mexican bar hire.
Historic buildings near Fant often have strict rules for outside caterers, so ask early if that is your venue. If you have your heart set on Whatman Park, ask the people who run it about vehicles, alcohol and licensing first. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Fant, a lovely setting for drinks outdoors. Ask your venue about vehicle access for the truck or trailer.
Wherever your event is in ME16 and ME15, we can bring Mexican bar hire to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. We can cater an event on streets such as Fant Lane, Glebe Lane and Burns Road or the roads around them. Fant is on the A26, which makes it straightforward to bring the truck or trailer.

Comparing your options
A generic bar does the job, but margaritas and aguas frescas give the bar character. There’s 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.

FAQs for Fant
Could you serve in Whatman Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Parish Church of St Andrew?
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.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Organising for someone else?
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Fant? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
