Common questions in Garlinge
We’re having a ceremony at St James: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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.
Is Garlinge close to London?
About 63 miles from central London.
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). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you do drinks only?
Of course. Our Mexican catering can be added too.
How much is the bar?
We quote for each event, based on numbers, drinks and hours. For a price, fill in our quote form.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll go through the licensing with you and your venue.
Do we need a licence for the bar?
It depends on the venue. If the venue has no licence, a Temporary Event Notice may be needed. We’ll go through the licensing with you.
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Mexican bar hire or something else?
Leaving guests to bring their own is easy but unpredictable. A bar gives every guest a drink in hand, including non-drinkers. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we will set out what’s included.

- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.

Drinks receptions around Garlinge
Garlinge is about 1 mile west of Margate, in Kent. From the centre of Garlinge to the outskirts, Mexican bar hire works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We serve in all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Garlinge to Canterbury (14 miles away).
Historic buildings near Garlinge often have strict rules for outside caterers, so ask early if that’s your venue. For a drinks-led event, rail details help, and Margate station is about 0.8 miles away. With the sea within about 2 miles, a seaside drinks reception is an option. Seafront spots usually need permission, especially for alcohol, and the truck or trailer needs firm ground.

From High Street, Bridge Road and Caxton Road or a nearby road, we can bring Mexican bar hire there, given access. Close by, we cover events in Westbrook (1 mile north-east), Westgate-on-Sea (1 mile west), Flete (1 mile south-east), Margate (1 mile east) and Westwood (2 miles south-east).

Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.

- Plates, napkins and cutlery
