Can I do a taco night myself?

If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.

Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.

Why choose Mexican bar hire in Marley?

DIY drinks tables are easy but need constant topping up. A staffed bar keeps everything under control. 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. Every event gets its own quote.

What you get with us

  • Allergen information for everything we serve
  • Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
  • Quoted for your event
  • We cover Marley and the whole of Kent

How the day works

Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. Winter receptions in Marley are dark by about 3:50pm in December, so plan where guests will gather, and how it will be lit. Midsummer is the opposite, with daylight until about 9:15pm.

  1. We check availability.
  2. You get a suggested drinks list.
  3. We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
  4. The bar opens at the agreed time.
  5. When the bar shuts, we clear away.

Before we arrive

  • Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
  • Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
  • Tell us what power and water the site has

FAQs for Marley

Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?

We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.

We’re having a ceremony at St John the Baptist's Church: can you cater afterwards?

Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.

What about power on site?

That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.

Are plates and napkins included?

Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.

Do you do margaritas?

Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.

Do you do parties at home?

That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.

Which areas do you serve?

We cater across London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.

How is the food prepared?

Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.

Drinks planning tips

To get the most from the bar, it helps to:

  • Ask your venue about its licence early
  • Share bar opening times
  • Tell us how many guests are under 18
  • Plan any Temporary Event Notice well ahead

We arrive in good time to set up the bar, so drinks are ready when you are.

Tell us what glassware you need and we’ll confirm the options with your quote.

What we need at the venue

The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:

  • Licensing checked with you before the day
  • Room for a queue
  • Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

Menu ideas

  • Fruit aguas frescas
  • Horchata
  • Agua de jamaica (hibiscus)
  • Margaritas
  • Mexican beer
  • Soft drinks

Planning a drinks bar in Marley

Marley is about 7 miles east of Maidstone, in Kent. From the centre of Marley to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Marley is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Marley to Canterbury (17 miles away).

If you are looking at a historic venue around Marley, check its rules on outside bars and vehicles early. A gathering in Kiln Wood? Check the park’s rules first, as alcohol and vehicles usually need permission. Marley is within about 3 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, a lovely setting for drinks outdoors. Ask your venue about vehicle access for the truck or trailer.

What Mexican bar hire costs

Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:

  • What the venue already provides
  • Parking and the route in
  • Serving staff
  • Your choice of food and drinks

A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.

What we need to know

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:

  • Gate widths, slopes and the ground
  • Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
  • What power and water the site has
  • The date and time of the event

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. To send your details, use our quote form.
