Mexican bar hire in Tonbridge, from our truck or trailer

In Tonbridge, drinks and street food together make an easy, complete package. Let us know about the venue and the route in. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:

DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Planning drinks for every guest

- Tell us how many guests are under 18
- Ensure drivers have good choices
- Collect allergy details in advance
