About our Mexican bar hire in Ringlestone
Pair the bar with our Mexican catering for tacos, burritos and nachos, so food and drinks come from one booking. At summer garden parties and licensed festivals, we can serve margaritas, aguas frescas and alcohol-free drinks for your guests.
Around Ringlestone, a drinks bar suits garden parties and village-hall celebrations. Aguas frescas and soft drinks cover guests who aren’t drinking alcohol. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.

Ringlestone questions
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues 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.
Which station is closest to Ringlestone?
Guests can use Maidstone Barracks station, about 0.8 miles south of Ringlestone.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will check the licensing with you.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
Mexican bar hire or something else?
Non-drinkers often get only soft drinks. Our aguas frescas are made for them. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
Why us?
- Allergen information for every dish
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- Menus for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- Service planned around your numbers

What happens on the day
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. A late-September party in Ringlestone loses the light at about 7:00pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. In late May, it stays light until about 8:50pm.

- Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
- We suggest a drinks list and send a quote.
- On the day, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
