Drinks receptions around Upton
Upton is about 1 mile south-west of Broadstairs, in Kent. Wherever your event is in the CT10 area, we can bring the truck or trailer to you, as long as there’s access. We serve in 922 places in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 16 miles away.
Guests travelling by rail: Broadstairs station is in Upton itself. Nearby historic houses include Quex Park (4.5 miles west). Grand houses and estates tend to have firm rules on alcohol and outside bars, so raise the drinks bar with them early. With the sea within about 2 miles, a seaside drinks reception is an option. Seafront spots typically need permission, especially for alcohol, and the truck or trailer needs firm ground.
Here we cover the CT10, CT11 and CT12 postcode area, so your event can be anywhere in it. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Vale Road, Lawn Road and Upton Road or the roads around them. Upton is on the A255, so it is easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer. If your venue is just outside Upton, we also cover Broadstairs (1 mile north-east), St Peter's (1 mile north-west), Northwood (1 mile west), Ramsgate (1 mile south-west) and St Lawrence (2 miles south-west).

Upton questions
What’s the nearest station to Upton for guests?
Guests can use Broadstairs station, which is right in Upton.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Parish Church of St Peter the Apostle?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Do you cater in Upton?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Upton and across Kent. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
How is the food prepared?
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 bring staff to serve the drinks?
Yes, our bar staff serve your guests. Responsible serving comes first.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a picture and we’ll talk it through.
What’s on the drinks menu?
Margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We plan the list with you.
Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
How it works
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. In December, the light goes in Upton at about 3:50pm, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. Midsummer is the opposite, with daylight until about 9:15pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
- Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
- You get a suggested drinks menu and a quote.
- On the day we set up the bar and our bar staff serve your guests.
- We pack away when the bar shuts and leave the area tidy.
Preparing for the day
