Mexican bar hire for your event in Lydden
Aguas frescas are light, fruity drinks: hibiscus agua de jamaica, horchata, tamarind and fruit waters. They’re a good alcohol-free choice for everyone. On the menu are horchata, Mexican beer and margaritas, and it suits themed celebrations and big birthday celebrations.
Near Lydden, a drinks bar suits gardens, barns and marquees, as long as we can get in. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.

Planning a drinks bar in Lydden
Lydden is about 3 miles north-west of Dover, in Kent. Across the CT15 area, we can bring the truck or trailer to you, as long as there is access. Lydden is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. We cater right across the region, from Lydden to Canterbury (about 11 miles away).
If you are looking at a historic venue around Lydden, check its rules on outside bars and vehicles early. Anyone leaving the car at home will want to know that Kearsney station is about 1.6 miles away. With the Kent Downs National Landscape within about 6 miles, a countryside drinks reception is an option. Check how the venue handles outside bars and vehicles. The coast is within about 5 miles of Lydden. Wind, sand and the rules on alcohol in public places all need planning for a seaside bar.
