Your questions about Mexican bar hire in Parkgate
How far is Parkgate from central London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London.
Do you cater in villages like Parkgate?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do we need a licence for the bar?
Alcohol at an event needs the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We will check the licensing with you. See GOV.UK for Temporary Event Notices.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.

The process
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A photo of the space helps. By late September, sunset in Parkgate comes at roughly 7:00pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:45pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
- Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
- We suggest a drinks list and send a quote.
- On the day we set up the bar and our bar staff serve your guests.
- When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

A Mexican drinks bar in Parkgate: local tips
Parkgate is about 10 miles south-west of Ashford, in Kent. Across the TN30 area, we can serve your guests, as long as there’s access. We cater in all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 23 miles away.
Close to Parkgate are historic houses such as Smallhythe Place (3.7 miles south-east). Before booking a historic venue, find out whether it lets an outside bar bring a vehicle on site. Older venues around Parkgate may restrict vehicles and outside drinks service, so confirm what’s allowed before booking. An outdoor bar near the High Weald National Landscape, within about 6 miles of Parkgate, needs firm ground and a way in, plus the right licensing, which we will check with you.
We cover events in every part of the TN30 postcode area. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Cranbrook Road, Millpond Lane and Tenterden Road. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Clapper Hill (1 mile north-west), East End (1 mile west), Strood (2 miles south), Fosten Green (2 miles north-west) and London Beach (2 miles north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Maidstone (14 miles north-west), Ashford (10 miles north-east), Foley Park (15 miles north), Paddock Wood (13 miles north-west), Bearsted (13 miles north) and Park Wood (12 miles north).
A little further out are Mervyn Quinlan Museum (1.5 miles west) and Benenden Hospital (1.5 miles west).

What affects the price in Parkgate
We quote for your event, which reflects:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Guest numbers
- The menu you choose
- Distance and access to the venue
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- What power and water the site has
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Diets and allergies you know about
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, use our quote form.
Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Space, access and the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Vehicle access near the bar
- Room for a queue
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
