Mexican bar hire in Ridley
How our Mexican bar hire works in Ridley
Cold Mexican lagers come with lime on the side. It works well for weddings, day or evening and work celebrations, with margaritas, alcohol-free drinks and Mexican beer.
For a country party near Ridley, a drinks bar in a garden or field sets the mood. Tell us about the ground, gates, power and water. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Can I do a taco night 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.

Prices and what affects them
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- The menu you choose
- Serving staff
- Parking and the route in
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- What you’d like on the menu
- What power and water the site has
- Expected numbers
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
What’s on the menu
Mexican beer
Mexican beer is light and refreshing.
Tamarind and fruit waters
A light drink for hot days.
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
How the day works
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. A summer drinks reception in Ridley has daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. In late September it’s dark around 7:00pm, and in December by about 3:50pm, so evening bars need lighting.
- First, we check your date.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches

Ridley: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of Saint Peter?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you cater 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.
What can we have at the bar?
Our bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata, plus alcohol-free choices.
Do you bring staff to serve the drinks?
Yes, our bar staff serve your guests. They serve responsibly.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.
Do you have a licence to sell alcohol?
That depends on your venue. Some venues have a premises licence; others need a Temporary Event Notice. We’ll check the licensing with you.
Can we have the bar on its own?
Of course. Our Mexican catering can be added too.
Mexican bar hire or something else?
Bring-your-own is simple but uneven. A bar gives every guest a drink in hand. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.
Why us?
- We cover Ridley and the whole of Kent
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
- A clear quote
- Set-up planned with you and your venue

Planning a drinks bar in Ridley
Ridley is about 6 miles south of Northfleet, in Kent. Whether your event is in the middle of Ridley or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We cover 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater right across the region, from Ridley to London (about 21 miles away).
Once the ceremony at a church like Church of Saint Peter is over, guests may be glad of a cold drink at the reception venue. Around Ridley, historic houses include Cobham College (4 miles north-east). Grand houses and estates tend to have firm rules on alcohol and outside bars, so raise the drinks bar with them early. With the Kent Downs National Landscape within about 7 miles, a countryside drinks reception is an option. Check how the venue handles outside bars and vehicles.
Here we cover the TN15 postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. Other places close to Ridley for Mexican bar hire include New Street (1 mile east), Hodsoll Street (1 mile south), South Street (1 mile east), New Ash Green (1 mile north-west) and Culverstone Green (2 miles south-east).

Well-known places in the area include Ightham Court (4.4 miles south) and Coldrum Long Barrow (3.1 miles south-east).
Where the truck can go in Ridley
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Access to unload close to the bar spot
- Room for a queue
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
