A Mexican drinks bar in Hillborough: local tips
Hillborough is about 2 miles east of Herne Bay, in Kent. We bring Mexican bar hire to homes, gardens and venues in Hillborough and nearby villages. Hillborough is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 7 miles away.
If the service is at a church such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. Guests travelling by rail: the nearest station is Herne Bay station, about 2.2 miles west. Drinks by the sea could work, as Hillborough is within about 2 miles of the coast. Licensing on the seafront needs checking, and we’ll do that with you.
We serve at events all over the CT6 postcode area and the streets around it. Local streets include Manor Road, Puffin Road and Neville Road; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. Hillborough is on the A299, so it is easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer.

Your questions about Mexican bar hire in Hillborough
Could you serve in Bishopstone Cliffs?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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 will check the access.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Can we have the bar on its own?
Of course. Ask about adding tacos and burritos.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.

- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- We talk through licensing with you, whether that is the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- You get a suggested drinks menu and a quote.
- On the day we set up the bar and our bar staff serve your guests.
- We pack away when the bar shuts and leave the area tidy.
