Mexican bar hire for your event in Lower Rainham
Responsible serving matters to us: alcohol-free drinks on offer, and no alcohol for anyone under 18. At themed celebrations and launch parties, we will put together a menu of agua de jamaica, soft drinks and alcohol-free drinks and more.
In a rural spot like Lower Rainham, drinks can be served from our truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, given access. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.
How the day works
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Winter receptions in Lower Rainham are dark by about 3:50pm in December, so plan where guests will gather, and how it will be lit. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:15pm.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- We talk licensing through with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- You get a suggested drinks menu and a quote.
- On the day, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
- When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.
How to prepare
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Share the running order, including any speeches

Questions from Lower Rainham
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Berengrave Chalk Pit?
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.
What’s the nearest station to Lower Rainham for guests?
Guests can use Rainham (Kent) station, about 0.7 miles south of Lower Rainham.
Do you do drinks only?
Yes. Book the bar on its own.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
How spicy is the food?
That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
What can we have at the bar?
Margaritas and Mexican beer, with aguas frescas like horchata and agua de jamaica, plus alcohol-free choices.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Planning drinks for every guest
Some planning tips for the drinks:
- Serve food alongside the drinks
- Check allergies with guests, including for drinks
- Check how alcohol will be licensed at your venue
- Plan any Temporary Event Notice well ahead
When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.
Tell us what glassware you need and we will set out the options.
Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Organising for someone else?
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
