Mexican bar hire in Grove
Should I do it myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Mexican bar hire in Grove, from our truck or trailer
A Mexican drinks bar brings margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas to your event, with bar staff to serve your guests. It works on its own or alongside our food. For work celebrations and licensed festivals, we’ll put together a menu of alcohol-free drinks, margaritas and soft drinks and more.
For a country party near Grove, a drinks bar in a garden or field sets the mood. Let us know about access and soft ground. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
The process
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. At midsummer, it’s light in Grove until about 9:15pm, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. In late September it’s dark around 7:00pm, and in December by about 3:50pm, so evening bars need lighting.
- We check availability.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- We tidy up at the end.
How to prepare
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

Grove: venues, access and licensing
Grove is about 5 miles south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. For an event in Grove, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access in and around Grove. We serve in 922 places in Kent, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Grove to Canterbury (about 6 miles away).
If the service is at a church such as Church of St Mildred, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. Around Grove, historic houses include Goodnestone Park (4.7 miles south). Grand houses and estates tend to have firm rules on alcohol and outside bars, so raise the drinks bar with them early. With the sea within about 6 miles, a seaside drinks reception is an option. Seafront spots generally need permission, especially for alcohol, and the truck or trailer needs firm ground.
This part of Kent takes in CT3. For events just outside Grove, we cover Preston (1 mile south-east), Upstreet (1 mile north), West Stourmouth (1 mile north-east), East Stourmouth (2 miles east) and Sarre (2 miles north-east). Larger places within reach include Canterbury (6 miles west), Margate (9 miles north-east), Dover (13 miles south), Ramsgate (9 miles east), Broadstairs (10 miles east) and Whitstable (8 miles west).
Well-known places in the area include St Martins Hospital (4.9 miles south-west).
- Nearby, you’ll find The Grove Ferry Inn (0.9 miles north)
