How our Mexican bar hire works in West Hoathly
Serving alcohol at events needs a licence: either the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We go through the licensing with you before the day. For work celebrations and summer garden parties, we can serve soft drinks, agua de jamaica and aguas frescas and more.
Near West Hoathly, a drinks bar suits gardens, barns and marquees, as long as we can get in. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Your questions about Mexican bar hire in West Hoathly
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Margaret's Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
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.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you serve responsibly?
Always. No alcohol is served to under-18s, and we may refuse service to anyone who has had too much.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we will go through the licensing with you and your venue.
