About our Mexican bar hire in Upchurch
Responsible serving matters to us: alcohol-free drinks on offer, and no alcohol for anyone under 18. It suits milestone birthdays and company summer parties, serving aguas frescas, Mexican beer and agua de jamaica.
For a country party near Upchurch, a drinks bar in a garden or field sets the mood. Tell us about the ground, gates, power and water. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
How we price Mexican bar hire
We quote for your event, which reflects:
- The number of people
- How long we are needed on site
- Food, drinks or both
- How many staff you need
Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the event is
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Your date and when you want service to start
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
The process
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. In December, the light goes in Upchurch at about 3:50pm, so plan where guests will gather, and how it will be lit. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:15pm.
- Send us your date, venue, numbers and drinks ideas.
- We talk through licensing with you, whether that is the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- We put together a drinks menu, with alcohol-free choices, and quote for it.
- We arrive, set up and serve margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
- After service, we clear the bar away.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Ask the venue about power and water

Drinks receptions around Upchurch
Upchurch is about 3 miles east of Gillingham, in Kent. Anywhere in ME9, we will come to your venue or site. We serve in 922 places in Kent. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 20 miles away.
If the service is at a church such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. For a drinks-led event, rail details help, and Rainham (Kent) station is about 1.6 miles away. An outdoor bar near the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 8 miles of Upchurch, needs firm ground and a way in, plus the right licensing, which we’ll check with you.
We cover events in every part of ME9 and ME8 and the streets around it. We can cater an event on streets such as The Street, Crosier Court and Horsham Lane or the roads around them. If your venue is just outside Upchurch, we also cover Lower Halstow (1 mile east), Breach (1 mile south), Moor Street (1 mile south-west), Lower Rainham (1 mile west) and Newington (2 miles south-east).

Common questions in Upchurch
How far is Upchurch from London?
It is about 33 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a photo of the access and the space, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Can we book the bar without food?
Yes, though it pairs well with tacos. Ask about adding tacos and burritos.
Can you do dairy-free food?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
How much is the bar?
We don’t publish set prices, as each event is different. Tell us your plans for a quote.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Is Mexican bar hire right for your event?
Wine and fizz are the usual choices. A Mexican bar feels relaxed and different. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
