Mexican bar hire in Herne Bay, served fresh
Serving alcohol at events needs a licence: a premises licence at the venue, or a Temporary Event Notice. We check the licensing with you before the day. We serve Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks, and it suits festivals and fairs and engagement celebrations.
In a town like Herne Bay, a drinks bar suits garden parties, club and hall events, and receptions. The venue needs to allow us on site and have level ground, and we will talk licensing through with you. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Space for guests to queue at the bar
- Vehicle access near the bar
- Agreement from the venue for our bar
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Drinks bars for events in Herne Bay
Herne Bay is about 7 miles north of Canterbury, in Kent. Tell us where your event in Herne Bay will be, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up. We cover 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 7 miles away.
Serving alcohol in Curtis Wood would need the owner’s permission and probably a licence, so a garden or venue is often simpler. If the service is at a church such as Christ Church, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. The coast is within about a mile of Herne Bay. Wind, sand and the rules on alcohol in public places all need planning for a seaside bar.
We cater events across the CT6 postcode area and the streets around it. Local streets include High Street, Viscount Square and Market Street; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. You’ll find Herne Bay on the A299 and B2205, which makes it straightforward to bring the truck or trailer. If your venue is just outside Herne Bay, we also cover Hunters Forstal (1 mile south-east), Eddington (1 mile south-west), Broomfield (1 mile south-east), Herne (1 mile south) and Beltinge (1 mile east). Within a short drive, we also cover Canterbury (7 miles south), Margate (11 miles east), Ramsgate (12 miles east), Broadstairs (13 miles east), Whitstable (5 miles west) and Deal (15 miles south-east).
Well-known places in the area include Tankerton Castle (4.3 miles west) and Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital (3.6 miles west). Not far away are West Blean and Thornden Woods.

How it compares
DIY drinks tables are easy but need constant topping up. Bar staff keep drinks flowing and cold. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

How it works
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we have agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. At midsummer, it is light in Herne Bay until about 9:15pm, ideal for drinks outdoors. 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 check the licensing with you.
- You choose the drinks with us.
- We serve drinks responsibly on the day.
- We pack down when the bar closes.
Getting ready for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

Your questions about Mexican bar hire in Herne Bay
We’re having a ceremony at Christ Church: can you cater afterwards?
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 your truck or trailer to Curtis Wood?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Can children have drinks from the bar?
Every bar has alcohol-free choices, including aguas frescas and soft drinks.
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 cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll go through the licensing with you and your venue.
