About our Mexican bar hire in The Platt
The drinks menu is agreed with you, to suit your guests and timings. Tell us what you have in mind. At winter celebrations and taco nights and themed parties, we’ll put together a menu of alcohol-free drinks, soft drinks and Mexican beer.
In a rural spot like The Platt, drinks can be served from our truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, as long as we can get in. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Planning the bar
A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:
- Ask your venue about its licence early
- Have plenty of water available

For a drinks-led event, rail details help, and Frant station is about 1.7 miles away. With the High Weald National Landscape within about 4 miles, a countryside drinks reception is an option.

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
The Platt: your questions answered
Could you serve our guests after a service at The Parish Church of St Alban?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Do you cater in villages like The Platt?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you have alcohol-free drinks?
Yes. Aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata are alcohol-free, along with soft drinks.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not typically stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
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 talk licensing through with you.
Planning the serving area
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- Firm, level ground where we can set up
- The right licence for alcohol: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice
- The venue’s permission for an outside bar
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
What we offer
- Fruit aguas frescas
- Horchata
- Margaritas
- Soft drinks
- Mexican beer
- Agua de jamaica (hibiscus)
How it compares
A self-service drinks table is simple but can run dry or go warm. A staffed bar keeps everything under control. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
