Mexican bar hire for your event in Sandling
Alcohol at an event needs the right licence: a premises licence at the venue, or a Temporary Event Notice. We will go through the licensing with you. Popular choices include alcohol-free drinks, margaritas and Mexican beer, and it is a good fit for wedding receptions and evening parties and company summer parties.
In a rural spot like Sandling, drinks can be served from our truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, given access. We will check the licensing with you. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
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.
Planning a drinks bar in Sandling
Sandling is about 1 mile north-west of Hythe, in Kent. Anywhere in CT21, we will come to your venue or site, as long as there is access. Sandling is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 13 miles away.
Serving alcohol in Brockhill Country Park would need the owner’s permission and probably a licence, so a garden or venue is often simpler. Historic buildings near Sandling often have strict rules for outside caterers, so ask early if that is your venue. Sandling is within about 6 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, a lovely setting for drinks outdoors. Ask your venue about vehicle access for the truck or trailer. The coast is within about 2 miles of Sandling. Wind, sand and the rules on alcohol in public places all need planning for a seaside bar.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Timings and hours
