How our Mexican bar hire works in Gushmere
Serving alcohol at events needs a licence: a premises licence at the venue, or a Temporary Event Notice. We go through the licensing with you before the day. It suits big birthday celebrations and garden get-togethers, serving Mexican beer, aguas frescas and agua de jamaica.
For a country party near Gushmere, a drinks bar in a garden or field sets the mood. Tell us about the ground, gates, power and water. You’ll know what’s included before booking: menu, timings and any add-ons.
For event organisers in Gushmere
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.

FAQs for Gushmere
What’s the nearest station to Gushmere for guests?
Selling station, about 0.6 miles east of the centre.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Can we book the bar without food?
Of course. Our Mexican catering can be added too.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Can children have drinks from the bar?
There are always alcohol-free options, from aguas frescas to soft drinks.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
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.
Why choose Mexican bar hire in Gushmere?
A self-service drinks table is simple but can run dry or go warm. A staffed bar keeps everything under control. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Prices and what affects them
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- The length of service
- What the venue already provides
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- The menu you choose
There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican bar hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- What you’d like on the menu
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, send a quick message through our quote form.
What happens on the day
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A photo of the space helps. A summer drinks reception in Gushmere has daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, 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.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We talk licensing through with you.

- Our bar staff serve your guests at the agreed times.
- We clear the bar at the end.
Before we arrive
