Mexican bar hire near Monkton
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Mexican bar hire for your event in Monkton
Aguas frescas are Mexico’s fresh fruit and flower drinks: hibiscus agua de jamaica, horchata, tamarind and fruit waters. They’re a good alcohol-free choice for everyone. For fairs and community events and company summer parties, we will put together a menu of alcohol-free drinks, Mexican beer and margaritas and more.
For a country party near Monkton, a drinks bar in a garden or field sets the mood. Let us know about access and soft ground. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Planning the bar
Some planning tips for the drinks:
- Check how alcohol will be licensed at your venue
- Have plenty of water available
- Agree bar timings in advance
- Plan alcohol-free drinks for drivers
Bar staff serve for the agreed times, and keep the bar tidy.

Planning a drinks bar in Monkton
Monkton is about 5 miles south-west of Margate, in Kent. We bring Mexican bar hire to homes, gardens and venues in Monkton and nearby villages. We cover all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Monkton to Canterbury (10 miles away).
Historic buildings near Monkton often have strict rules for outside caterers, so ask early if that is your venue. A drinks bar at a garden or hall near a church like Church of Saint Mary Magdalene gives guests something to enjoy while photos are taken. Drinks by the sea could work, as Monkton is within about 6 miles of the coast. Licensing on the seafront needs checking, and we will do that with you.
Wherever your event is in CT12, we can bring Mexican bar hire to you. Local streets include Monkton Street, Collards Close and Seamark Close; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. If your venue is just outside Monkton, we also cover Hoo (1 mile east), St Nicholas at Wade (1 mile north-west), Sarre (2 miles west), East Stourmouth (2 miles south-west) and Westmarsh (2 miles south). Further out, we also cater in Canterbury (10 miles south-west), Margate (5 miles north-east), Dover (14 miles south), Ramsgate (6 miles east), Broadstairs (7 miles east) and Whitstable (11 miles west).
Other landmarks nearby include Powell-Cotton Museum (2.4 miles north-east) and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Hospital (5.5 miles north-east). Not far away are Sandwich and Pegwell Bay.
How it works
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. Winter receptions in Monkton are dark by about 3:50pm in December, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. Midsummer is the opposite, with daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We go through the licensing with you.
- We agree a drinks menu.
- Our bar staff serve your guests at the agreed times.
- We pack down when the bar closes.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

What else we do in Monkton
What affects the price in Monkton
These are the factors that matter most:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- What the venue already provides
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The address or venue name
- What power and water the site has
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.

Leaving guests to bring their own is easy but unpredictable. A staffed bar means everyone is served. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we’ll set out what’s included.
