Mexican bar hire in Kingston, served fresh

Around Kingston, a drinks bar suits garden parties and village-hall celebrations, with access for the truck or trailer. Aguas frescas and soft drinks cover guests who are not drinking alcohol. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

What affects the price in Kingston
We quote for your event, which reflects:
- The length of service
- How many staff you need
- What the venue already provides
- Guest numbers
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The date and rough timings
- What you’d like on the menu
- The venue or postcode
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
How it compares
Bring-your-own is simple but uneven. A bar gives every guest a drink in hand. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why us?
- Catering across Portsmouth, including Kingston
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both

Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
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. Read our guide to taco bars.
Tips for a smooth bar
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Plan any Temporary Event Notice well ahead
- Let us know how many non-drinkers to expect
- Share taxi numbers with guests
- Have plenty of water available
When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.
Margaritas for the drinks reception, licensing permitting.
Popular choices
Tamarind and fruit waters
A light drink for hot days.
Mexican beer

The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our food truck or trailer, and get on with serving. Winter receptions in Kingston are dark by about 4:00pm in December, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We tidy up at the end.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
