Mexican bar hire in Swanscombe, from our truck or trailer
Our bar travels to events across Swanscombe and nearby: weddings, parties, staff events and festivals. It works well for weddings, day or evening and staff parties, with alcohol-free drinks, soft drinks and Mexican beer.
A drinks bar makes a party in Swanscombe easy and sociable. Tell us about the drive, gates and power. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
FAQs for Swanscombe
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
How far is Swanscombe from London?
It is about 17 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
What’s on the drinks menu?
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, plus soft drinks. The drinks list is agreed with you.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
How we price Mexican bar hire
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many staff you need
- The length of service
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- What power and water the site has
- The venue or postcode
We quote for each event separately, based on what you need. For a quote, tell us about it on our contact page.
For event organisers in Swanscombe
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.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Before you choose a spot
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- The right licence for alcohol: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice
- Details of power and water on site
- Somewhere to park and unload nearby
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Is Mexican bar hire right for your event?
Non-drinkers often get only soft drinks. Aguas frescas give them something special. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.

Can I do a taco night myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. 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 will do the serving.
