Your questions about Mexican bar hire in Lower Hartlip
Could you serve in Foxburrow Wood?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Do you do drinks only?
Of course. Ask about adding tacos and burritos.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
Mexican bar hire or something else?
Leaving guests to bring their own is easy but unpredictable. A bar gives every guest a drink in hand. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
