Questions from Kippington
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Montreal Park?
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.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we’ll keep their options separate.
Can we have the bar on its own?
Yes. The bar can be booked on its own.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.

Drinks bars for events in Kippington
Kippington is about 1 mile south of Sevenoaks, in Kent. Anywhere in TN13, we will come to your venue or site, as long as there is access. Kippington is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Kippington to London (20 miles away).
Parks such as Montreal Park have their own rules on vehicles and alcohol, so check before planning a drinks bar there. Once the ceremony at a church like Church of St Mary is over, guests may be glad of a cold drink at the reception venue. An outdoor bar near the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 5 miles of Kippington, needs firm ground and a way in, plus the right licensing, which we will check with you.
For Mexican bar hire in TN13, TN14 and TN15, we plan around your venue and the route in and timings. Streets in the area include Glebe Lane, Beech Road and Grange Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. If your venue is just outside Kippington, we also cover Sevenoaks (1 mile north), Bessels Green (1 mile north-west), Riverhead (1 mile north), Dunton Green (2 miles north) and Chipstead (2 miles north-west). We also cater in nearby towns such as Maidstone (15 miles east), Dartford (12 miles north), Royal Tunbridge Wells (10 miles south), Gravesend (14 miles north-east), Tonbridge (7 miles south-east) and Northfleet (13 miles north-east).

Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Planning the bar
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Ensure there’s water for guests
- Serve food alongside the drinks
- Collect allergy details in advance
- Allow time for a Temporary Event Notice if one is needed
Bar staff serve for the agreed times, and keep the bar tidy.
Margaritas for the drinks reception, licensing permitting.

Step by step

In December, the light goes in Kippington at about 3:55pm, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
- We put together a drinks menu, with alcohol-free choices, and quote for it.
- We arrive, set up and serve margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
- We pack away when the bar shuts and leave the area tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
