About our Mexican bar hire in Gravesend
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 festivals and fairs and client events and launches, serving soft drinks, horchata and agua de jamaica.
In a town like Gravesend, a drinks bar suits garden parties, club and hall events, and receptions. We need a level spot for the truck or trailer and the venue’s permission, and we’ll talk licensing through with you. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.
Mexican bar hire or something else?
Wine and fizz are the usual choices. A Mexican bar feels relaxed and different. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.

Questions from Gravesend
Which station should guests use for Gravesend?
The closest is Gravesend station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Christ Church Milton?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will include them in the plan.
Do you cover Gravesend?
We do. Gravesend is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Where the truck can go in Gravesend
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A clear area in front of the bar
- Vehicle access near the bar
- Licensing checked with you before the day
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
