How the day works
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. In December, the light goes in Upper Harbledown at about 3:50pm, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. 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’s 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.
- When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.

About our Mexican bar hire in Upper Harbledown
Cold Mexican lagers come with lime on the side. It works well for engagement celebrations and launch parties, with aguas frescas, margaritas and horchata.
In a rural spot like Upper Harbledown, drinks can be served from our food truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, given access. We’ll check the licensing with you. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Upper Harbledown: your questions answered
Can you bring your truck or trailer to No Man's Orchard?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St. Gabriel?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you cater in Upper Harbledown?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Upper Harbledown is within our area and the rest of Kent. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll talk it through.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Can we have the bar on its own?
Yes, though it pairs well with tacos. Ask about adding tacos and burritos.
How much is the bar?
There’s no fixed price list, as each event is different. Send your details for a quote.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
