How our Mexican bar hire works in Halfway Street
Pair the bar with our Mexican catering for tacos, burritos and nachos, so food and drinks come from one booking. For engagement and anniversary parties and company summer parties, we’ll put together a menu of soft drinks, aguas frescas and horchata for your guests.
In a rural spot like Halfway Street, drinks can be served from our food truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, given access. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Common questions in Halfway Street
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Andrew?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Can you come to a private house?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a picture and we’ll talk it through.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.
Do you come to Halfway Street?
Yes, we do. Halfway Street is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
