Mexican bar hire in Hawkinge, from our truck or trailer
The margarita is the star of the bar: tequila, lime and orange liqueur over ice. It works well for company summer parties and summer garden parties, with margaritas, soft drinks and horchata.
In Hawkinge, a drinks bar works at home or in a local hall, with access for the truck or trailer. Aguas frescas and soft drinks cover guests who are not drinking alcohol. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.
What we need at the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Licensing checked with you before the day
- Vehicle access near the bar
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

Is Mexican bar hire right for your event?
Non-drinkers often get only soft drinks. Our aguas frescas are made for them. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican bar hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.

Questions from Hawkinge
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Luke's?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you come to events 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.
Is there something for non-drinkers?
Yes. Aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata are alcohol-free.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
What’s on the drinks menu?
Margaritas and Mexican beer, with aguas frescas like horchata and agua de jamaica, plus alcohol-free choices.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll suggest mild options.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
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.
About the menu
Horchata
A sweet, creamy rice drink with cinnamon.
Soft drinks
Every bar has alcohol-free choices.

Working with your venue
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
The process
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. A late-September party in Hawkinge loses the light at about 7:00pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:45pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- We tidy up at the end.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Name one person we can ask on the day
Get a quote
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
