The process
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. A summer drinks reception in Hadlow Down has daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. By late September, sunset is about 7:05pm, and in December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting around the bar.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- We talk licensing through with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- We put together a drinks menu, with alcohol-free choices, and quote for it.
- We arrive, set up and serve margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
- After service, we clear the bar away.

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 will do the serving.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
How it compares
With tacos on the menu, a Mexican drinks bar is the natural partner. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
Why book with us
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch
- Every guest catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included
- Allergen information for every dish
