Mexican bar hire for Hoo events
Hoo: venues, access and licensing
Hoo is about 5 miles south-west of Margate, in Kent. For an event in Hoo, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards. We cover all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 10 miles away.
If you are looking at a historic venue around Hoo, check its rules on outside bars and vehicles early. Once the ceremony at a church like Church of Saint Mary the Virgin is over, guests may be glad of a cold drink at the reception venue. The coast is within about 6 miles, close enough for drinks by the sea. Seafront spots typically need permission, especially for alcohol, and the truck or trailer needs firm ground.
This part of Kent takes in CT12. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Monkton Road, Hoo Farm Way and Sheriffs Court Lane. For events just outside Hoo, we cover Monkton (1 mile west), St Nicholas at Wade (2 miles north-west), Westmarsh (2 miles south-west), East Stourmouth (2 miles south-west) and Sarre (2 miles west). Larger places within reach include Canterbury (10 miles south-west), Margate (5 miles north-east), Dover (14 miles south), Ramsgate (5 miles east), Broadstairs (6 miles east) and Whitstable (11 miles west).
Nearby you’ll also find Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Hospital (5 miles north-east) and Powell-Cotton Museum (2.2 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Sandwich and Pegwell Bay.
- Nearby, you will find The Bell Inn (0.9 miles south-east)
Mexican bar hire for your event in Hoo
There are always alcohol-free drinks on the bar, for drivers, children and anyone not drinking. It suits company summer parties and taco nights and themed parties, serving Mexican beer, agua de jamaica and aguas frescas.
Near Hoo, a drinks bar suits a garden, barn or field party. Tell us about the ground, gates, power and water. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.
Can I do a taco night myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

Your questions about Mexican bar hire in Hoo
How far is Hoo from London?
About 61 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of Saint Mary the Virgin?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Who handles the licensing?
That depends on your venue. If the venue has no licence, a Temporary Event Notice may be needed. We’ll talk licensing through with you.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. We offer dairy-free options.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
Tips for a smooth bar
Some planning tips for the drinks:
- Add food if the bar runs for a while
- Think about how guests get home
- Tell us how many guests are under 18
- Give the council notice in good time for a Temporary Event Notice
If timings change, tell us and we will adjust.
A welcome margarita as guests arrive, licensing permitting.
Planners, venues and businesses
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.

Where the truck can go in Hoo
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Space for guests to queue at the bar

How it compares

- The number of people
- Parking and the route in

Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- Expected numbers
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
We quote for each event separately, based on what you need. To ask for one, send a quick message through our quote form.
How the day works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A picture of the space helps.
