Cold Mexican lagers come with lime on the side, and it pairs well with tacos. It works well for milestone birthdays and wedding receptions and evening parties, with agua de jamaica, alcohol-free drinks and soft drinks.
Receptions and parties in Maidstone can be at home or at a venue. Our drinks bar needs a level spot and a way in, at home or at a venue. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

How it works
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. At midsummer, it is light in Maidstone until about 9:15pm, ideal for drinks outdoors. In late September it is dark around 7:00pm, and in December by about 3:50pm, so evening bars need lighting.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
- We talk through licensing with you, whether that is the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- We put together a drinks menu, with alcohol-free choices, and quote for it.
- On the day, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
- We pack away when the bar shuts and leave the area tidy.
