About our Mexican bar hire in Ridgeway
The margarita is the star of the bar: tequila, lime and orange liqueur over ice. At work celebrations and birthday parties, we can serve alcohol-free drinks, aguas frescas and margaritas.
Near Ridgeway, a drinks bar suits a garden, barn or field party. Tell us about the ground, gates, power and water. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.
The process
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. In December, the light goes in Ridgeway at about 3:50pm, so plan where guests will gather, and how it will be lit. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:15pm.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- We talk through licensing with you, whether that is the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- We suggest a drinks list and send a quote.
- On the day, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
- When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.

Ridgeway: your questions answered
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Can children have drinks from the bar?
Always. Aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata are alcohol-free, along with soft drinks.
How big an event can you cater?
Our truck and trailer service generally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
What’s on the drinks menu?
Margaritas and Mexican beer, with aguas frescas like horchata and agua de jamaica.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, 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?
Planning a drinks bar in Ridgeway
Ridgeway is about 4 miles east of Ashford, in Kent. Anywhere in TN25, we can bring the truck or trailer to you, as long as there is access. Ridgeway is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we can bring Mexican bar hire. We cater right across the region, from Ridgeway to Canterbury (about 12 miles away).
If the service is at a church such as Church of St Mary, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. For a drinks-led event, rail details help, and the nearest station is Westenhanger station, about 3.9 miles south-east. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 5 miles of Ridgeway, a lovely setting for drinks outdoors. Ask your venue about vehicle access for the truck or trailer.

Working with your venue
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will let you know if it is a good fit.
Planning the serving area

- Level, firm ground for the bar set-up
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Vehicle access near the bar
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
