How the day works

Your timings come first. If things run behind, let us know and we will adjust where we can. Winter receptions in Stanhope are dark by about 3:50pm in December, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. Midsummer is the opposite, with daylight until about 9:15pm.

  1. First, we check your date.
  2. We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
  3. We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
  4. The bar opens at the agreed time.
  5. We tidy up at the end.

Getting ready for the day

  • Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
  • Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park

DIY taco night versus a caterer

A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.

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 anything containing allergens.

Drinks receptions around Stanhope

Stanhope is about 1 mile south-west of Ashford, in Kent. Tell us where your event in Stanhope will be, and we will plan the journey and set-up before the day. Stanhope is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring Mexican bar hire. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 14 miles away.

A gathering in Ashford Community Woodland? Check the park’s rules first, as alcohol and vehicles normally need permission. Around Stanhope, historic houses include Godinton House (2.1 miles north-west). Many listed venues control who serves drinks on their premises, so ask yours what it allows. An outdoor bar near the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 6 miles of Stanhope, needs firm ground and a way in, plus the right licensing, which we’ll check with you.

Anywhere in TN23, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Green Lane, Cryol Road and Athol Road; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. For events just outside Stanhope, we cover Ashford (1 mile north-east), Park Farm (1 mile south-east), Kingsnorth (1 mile south), Newtown (1 mile east) and Great Chart (1 mile north-west). Further out, we also cater in Canterbury (14 miles north-east), Folkestone (14 miles east), Faversham (13 miles north), Hythe (11 miles south-east), Davington (13 miles north) and Preston (12 miles north).

Planning the bar

A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:

  • Ensure drivers have good choices

Ask us about glassware or cups and we’ll confirm the options with your quote.
