Mexican bar hire in Forstal, from our truck or trailer
Our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, served by our bar staff. It works on its own or alongside our food. At end-of-year and Christmas parties and wedding drinks receptions, we’ll put together a menu of soft drinks, horchata and Mexican beer.
Near Forstal, a drinks bar suits gardens, barns and marquees, given access. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
How it works
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule. A summer drinks reception in Forstal has daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, ideal for drinks outdoors. By late September, sunset is about 7:00pm, and in December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting around the bar.

Comparing your options
Leaving guests to bring their own is easy but unpredictable. A bar gives every guest a drink in hand, including non-drinkers. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.

Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Guest numbers
- How many staff you need
- How long we are needed on site
- Travel, parking and access
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

Forstal questions
Could you serve in Tyland Barn?
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.
Which station should guests use for Forstal?
Guests can use Aylesford station, about 1.2 miles west of Forstal.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.

If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
