A Mexican drinks bar in Lashenden: local tips
Lashenden is about 10 miles west of Ashford, in Kent. Whether your event is in the middle of Lashenden or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Lashenden is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 21 miles away.
Older venues around Lashenden may restrict vehicles and outside drinks service, so confirm what’s allowed before you book. With the High Weald National Landscape within about 6 miles, a countryside drinks reception is an option. Check how the venue handles outside bars and vehicles.
Here we cover the TN27 postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Bell Lane and Frittenden Road. Close by, we cover events in Standen (1 mile south-east), Curteis' Corner (1 mile south), Monk's Hill (1 mile east), Hareplain (2 miles south-west) and Smarden Bell (2 miles north-east).

How our Mexican bar hire works in Lashenden
The drinks menu is agreed with you, to suit your guests and timings. Share your ideas and we’ll suggest a menu. We serve alcohol-free drinks, soft drinks and agua de jamaica, which works well for anniversaries and engagements and garden get-togethers.
Near Lashenden, a drinks bar suits gardens, barns and marquees, as long as we can get in. We’ll go through the licensing with you. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.
Your questions about Mexican bar hire in Lashenden
Do you cater in villages like Lashenden?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you come to events in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
How much does the drinks bar cost?
There is no fixed price list, as each event is different. Send your details for a quote.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.

How the day 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. A late-September party in Lashenden loses the light at about 7:00pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:50pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We tidy up at the end.
Before we arrive

Prices and what affects them
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Serving staff
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- The number of people
There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican bar hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- The date and rough timings
- Expected numbers
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Diets and allergies you know about
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Popular choices
Soft drinks
A choice of soft drinks for drivers and children.
Margaritas
The margarita is the heart of a Mexican bar.
