Mexican bar hire in Matfield, served fresh
Pair the bar with our Mexican catering for tacos, burritos and nachos, so you deal with one team. It suits end-of-year and Christmas parties and garden parties, serving alcohol-free drinks, margaritas and agua de jamaica.
In a rural spot like Matfield, drinks can be served from our food truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, as long as we can get in. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. A late-September party in Matfield loses the light at about 7:00pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:50pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We talk through licensing with you.

- We serve drinks responsibly on the day.
- We clear the bar at the end.

What else we do in Matfield
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
How it compares
Leaving guests to bring their own is easy but unpredictable. A staffed bar means everyone is served. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Why book Mobile Mexican Catering in Matfield

Drinks receptions around Matfield
Matfield is about 5 miles east of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. We cater events at homes, gardens and venues in Matfield and nearby villages. Matfield is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we can bring Mexican bar hire. Our nearest city page is London, about 31 miles away.
Once the ceremony at a church like Ebenezer Church (Matfield) is over, guests may be glad of a cold drink at the reception venue. Serving alcohol in Brenchley Wood would need the owner’s permission and probably a licence, so a garden or venue is often simpler.
