Mexican bar hire for Hawthorn events

Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. Evening drinks in Hawthorn stay light until about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so a summer drinks bar can run into the evening in daylight. String lights or lanterns near the hatch make a later bar easier to find.
- First, we check your date.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Find out what power and water are available

Hawthorn questions
Do you come out to small places like Hawthorn?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Could you come to a seaside event near Hawthorn?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Hawthorn.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Is there something for non-drinkers?
Yes. Aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata are alcohol-free, along with soft drinks.
What does Mexican bar hire cost?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Events we cater in Hawthorn

A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Typical bookings include:
- Winter celebrations

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. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Space, access and the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Access to unload close to the bar spot
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- The right licence for alcohol: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice

Drinks bars for events in Hawthorn
Hawthorn is about 2 miles east of Herne Bay, in Kent. Events in Hawthorn are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. Hawthorn is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. We cater right across the region, from Hawthorn to Canterbury (7 miles away).
For a drinks-led event, rail details help, and the nearest station is Herne Bay station, about 2.4 miles west.
