Planning the bar
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Find out if you need a Temporary Event Notice
- Tell us when the bar should open and close
- Ensure there’s water for guests
- Plan transport home for guests
We set up the bar before guests arrive, so drinks are ready when you are.
Pair the bar with tacos, burritos and nachos.
Comparing your options
Leaving guests to bring their own is easy but unpredictable. A staffed bar means everyone is served. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.

How it works
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. Winter receptions in Kingston by Sea are dark by about 3:55pm in December, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We talk through licensing with you.
- We agree a drinks menu.
- We serve drinks responsibly on the day.
- We clear the bar at the end.
Getting ready for the day

DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.

- Serving staff
- Whether you need disposables
- The length of service
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
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.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and rough timings
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Expected numbers
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. To send your details, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Questions from Kingston by Sea
Can you serve near the sea around Kingston by Sea?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Could you serve in Benfield Hill?
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 will send what they need from us.
Is the food very hot?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will plan the menu around them.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Send us a picture of the access and the space.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
How much does Mexican bar hire cost in Kingston by Sea?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
