Planning a drinks bar in Ripple
Ripple is about 2 miles south-west of Deal, in Kent. Events in Ripple are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. Ripple is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring Mexican bar hire. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 13 miles away.
For a drinks-led event, rail details help, and the nearest station is Walmer station, about 1.1 miles east. Around Ripple, historic houses include Walmer Castle (1.9 miles east). Before booking a historic venue, find out whether it lets an outside bar bring a vehicle on site. The coast is within about 3 miles, close enough for drinks by the sea.

Streets in the area include Mongeham Road, Sunnyside Close and Sutton Lane, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby.
