Mexican bar hire in Tilmanstone
About our Mexican bar hire in Tilmanstone
Aguas frescas are light, fruity drinks: hibiscus agua de jamaica, horchata, tamarind and fruit waters. They’re a good alcohol-free choice for everyone. It works well for product launches and client events and winter celebrations, serving Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks.
In a rural spot like Tilmanstone, drinks can be served from our food 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. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Tilmanstone: your questions answered
Can you serve near the sea around Tilmanstone?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Will you travel to a small place like Tilmanstone?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Working with your venue
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Planning the bar
Some planning tips for the drinks:
- Tell us how many guests are under 18
- Have plenty of water available
- Plan any Temporary Event Notice well ahead
- Include aguas frescas for non-drinkers
When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.
Ask us about glassware or cups and we will set out the options.
A Mexican drinks bar in Tilmanstone: local tips
Tilmanstone is about 4 miles west of Deal, in Kent. From the centre of Tilmanstone to the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We cover all 922 towns and villages across Kent, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 10 miles away.
Guests travelling by rail: the nearest station is Shepherds Well station, about 3.3 miles south-west. If you’re looking at a historic venue around Tilmanstone, check its rules on outside bars and vehicles early. The coast is within about 5 miles, close enough for drinks by the sea. Seafront spots generally need permission, especially for alcohol, and the truck or trailer needs firm ground.
We serve at events all over CT14 and the streets around it. Streets in the area include Upper Street, Vicarage Lane and Chapel Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Nearby, we also cater events in Elvington (2 miles west), Heronden (2 miles north), Chillenden (2 miles north-west), Barfrestone (2 miles west) and Hammill Park (3 miles north). We also cater in nearby towns such as Canterbury (10 miles north-west), Margate (12 miles north), Dover (5 miles south), Folkestone (11 miles south-west), Ramsgate (10 miles north-east) and Broadstairs (12 miles north-east).

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day usually runs: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. A summer drinks reception in Tilmanstone has daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, ideal for drinks outdoors. In late September it’s dark around 7:00pm, and in December by about 3:50pm, so evening bars need lighting.
- We check availability.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- We tidy up at the end.
Preparing for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
