Mexican bar hire in Manston
How our Mexican bar hire works in Manston
Our bar travels to events across Manston and nearby: from weddings and parties to work events. It works well for winter celebrations and weddings, day or evening, serving margaritas, alcohol-free drinks and aguas frescas.
In a rural spot like Manston, drinks can be served from our truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, as long as we can get in. We will check the licensing with you. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.
How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. At midsummer, it is light in Manston until about 9:15pm, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. By late September, sunset is about 7:00pm, and in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting around the bar.
- We check availability.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We tidy up at the end.
How to prepare
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat

Your questions about Mexican bar hire in Manston
How far is Manston from central London?
It’s about 64 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Could you come to a seaside event near Manston?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
What drinks do you serve?
Margaritas and Mexican beer, with aguas frescas like horchata and agua de jamaica, plus alcohol-free choices.

The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you bring staff to serve the drinks?
We bring bar staff, and serve throughout the agreed hours.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Planning drinks for every guest
A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:
- Ask guests about allergies
- Plan transport home for guests
- Add food if the bar runs for a while
- Share bar opening times
If timings change, tell us and we will adjust.
