Mexican bar hire for your event in Waltham
A Mexican drinks bar brings margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas to your event, with bar staff to serve your guests. It works on its own or alongside our food. For taco nights and themed parties and wedding drinks receptions, we can serve agua de jamaica, horchata and alcohol-free drinks for your guests.
Near Waltham, a drinks bar suits gardens, barns and marquees, given access. We will check the licensing with you. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
What affects the price in Waltham
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- How many guests we’re serving
- Travel, parking and access
- The length of service
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The address or venue name
- Expected numbers
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
Send us the date, your venue or CT4 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and you will get menu ideas and a price. Just fill in our quote form.
Questions from Waltham
Do you come out to small places like Waltham?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you cater 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.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you follow the rules on serving alcohol?
Responsible serving comes first: alcohol-free drinks for under-18s, and we offer water and alcohol-free choices throughout.
Do you do drinks only?
Of course. Ask about adding tacos and burritos.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so get in touch early.
Do you provide bar staff?
We bring bar staff.
Tips for a smooth bar
A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:
- Pair the bar with hot food
- Tell us when the bar should open and close
- Make sure there is water for guests
- Give the council notice in good time for a Temporary Event Notice
Responsible serving comes first: under-18s aren’t served alcohol, and nor is anyone who has had too much.
Aguas frescas for children and non-drinkers.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- Vehicle access near the bar
- The venue’s permission for an outside bar
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices
- Soft drinks
- Agua de jamaica (hibiscus)
- Horchata
- Margaritas
- Fruit aguas frescas
- Mexican beer
What happens on the day
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. A late-September party in Waltham loses the light at about 7:00pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. In late May, it stays light until about 8:45pm.
- We check availability.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Ask the venue about power and water
How to get a price
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll suggest a menu. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
