Gravel Castle is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring Mexican bar hire. We cater right across the region, from Gravel Castle to Canterbury (6 miles away).
Serving alcohol in Jumping Downs would need the owner’s permission and probably a licence, so a garden or venue is often simpler.

Before booking a historic venue, find out whether it lets an outside bar bring a vehicle on site.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.

Gravel Castle: your questions answered
How far is Gravel Castle from London?
It is about 58 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give 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 margaritas?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll talk licensing through with you and your venue.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, for instance a supply from the venue, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food.
Do you serve responsibly?
Our bar staff serve responsibly: under-18s get alcohol-free drinks only, and we offer water and alcohol-free choices throughout.
Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Firm, level ground where we can set up
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- The right licence for alcohol: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
