Mexican bar hire for your event in Puddledock
Serving alcohol at events needs a licence: a premises licence at the venue, or a Temporary Event Notice. We check the licensing with you before the day. On the menu are horchata, aguas frescas and margaritas, which works well for work celebrations and licensed festivals.
In a rural spot like Puddledock, drinks can be served from our truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, as long as we can get in. We will check the licensing with you. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Your questions about Mexican bar hire in Puddledock
Do you come to events 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.
Could you serve in Dartford Heath?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That is confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Who handles the licensing?
It depends on the venue. If the venue has no licence, a Temporary Event Notice may be needed. We will check the licensing with you.
What does Mexican bar hire cost?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Do you have alcohol-free drinks?
Every bar has alcohol-free choices, including aguas frescas and soft drinks.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Popular choices
Horchata
A sweet, creamy rice drink with cinnamon, served cold.

Soft drinks alongside the rest.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A bar spot away from homes
- Details of power and water on site
- Licensing checked with you before the day
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
What we offer
- Mexican beer
- Soft drinks
- Horchata
- Agua de jamaica (hibiscus)
- Margaritas
- Fruit aguas frescas
Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
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.
A Mexican drinks bar in Puddledock: local tips
Puddledock is about 1 mile north of Swanley, in Kent. We bring Mexican bar hire to homes, gardens and venues in Puddledock and nearby villages. We cover all 922 towns and villages across Kent. We cater right across the region, from Puddledock to London (about 13 miles away).
If the service is at a church such as St Peter, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. Historic houses near Puddledock include Hall Place and Gardens (2.2 miles north) and Red House (3.3 miles north-west). Grand houses and estates tend to have firm rules on alcohol and outside bars, so raise the drinks bar with them early. An outdoor bar near the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 6 miles of Puddledock, needs firm ground and a way in, plus the right licensing, which we’ll check with you.
For Mexican bar hire in DA2 and BR8, we plan around your venue and the route in and your guests. For events just outside Puddledock, we cover Hextable (1 mile south-east), Stonehill Green (1 mile south-west), Joyden's Wood (1 mile north), Wilmington (1 mile north-east) and Swanley Village (1 mile south-east). Further out, we also cater in Dartford (3 miles north-east), Sevenoaks (9 miles south), Gravesend (9 miles east), Northfleet (7 miles east), Kings Hill (14 miles south-east) and Swanscombe (5 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include West Hill Hospital (2.5 miles north-east) and Eynsford Castle (3.6 miles south-east). The countryside around Puddledock includes Wansunt Pit and Summer Hill.
- Local schools include Hextable School (0.7 miles south)
- Nearby, you’ll find The Ship pub (less than half a mile south-east)

Working with your venue
Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Planning drinks for every guest
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Have plenty of water available
- Ask your venue about its licence early
- Share taxi numbers with guests
- Share bar opening times
We arrive in good time to set up the bar, so drinks are ready when you are.
Alcohol-free aguas frescas for all ages.
Occasions we cater for in Puddledock
A drinks bar with a theme gives guests something to talk about, more than a standard bar.
Almost any gathering can work with a truck or trailer. In Puddledock, you could book us for events such as:
- Wedding drinks receptions
- Product launches and client events
- Summer garden parties
- Taco nights and themed parties
Serving alcohol in Dartford Heath would need the owner’s permission and probably a licence, so a garden or venue is often simpler.

- We talk licensing through with you.
- You choose the drinks with us.
- Our bar staff serve your guests at the agreed times.
- We clear the bar at the end.
