Common questions in West Hougham
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 it possible to have you in East Cliff and Warren Country Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t usually stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
What does Mexican bar hire cost?

Planning drinks for every guest
A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:
- Make sure there’s water for guests
- Check allergies with guests, including for drinks
- Plan any Temporary Event Notice well ahead
- Make sure drivers have good choices
Responsible serving comes first: no alcohol for under-18s, and we may refuse service to anyone who has had too much.
Add our Mexican catering for tacos, burritos and nachos.
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
The process
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not usually stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. Sunset in West Hougham is around 9:15pm in June, which suits an outdoor bar. For a bar running past dusk, ask the venue about outdoor lighting.
- First, we check your date.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
Getting a price
