About our Mexican bar hire in Margate
Mexican beer is served cold, with a wedge of lime if guests like, and it pairs well with tacos. For weddings, day or evening and end-of-year and Christmas parties, we can serve agua de jamaica, alcohol-free drinks and aguas frescas and more.
A Mexican drinks bar works for parties and receptions in Margate. The venue needs to allow us on site and have level ground, and we’ll check the licensing with you. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
The process
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. A summer drinks reception in Margate has daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, ideal for drinks outdoors. In late September it’s dark around 7:00pm, and in December by about 3:50pm, so evening bars need lighting.

Drinks planning tips
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Include aguas frescas for non-drinkers
- Think about how guests get home
- Ask your venue about its licence early
- Ensure there is water for guests
Responsible serving comes first: no alcohol for under-18s, and we may refuse service to anyone who has had too much.

Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- How many guests we’re serving
- Serving staff
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- What power and water the site has
- The date and time of the event

FAQs for Margate
What’s the nearest station to Margate for guests?
Margate station, about 0.6 miles north-west of the centre.
We’re having a ceremony at Parish Church of St John the Baptist: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you do drinks only?
Yes. The bar can be booked on its own.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.
