Balcombe: venues, access and licensing
Balcombe is about 4 miles north of Haywards Heath, in West Sussex. Whether your event is in the middle of Balcombe or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cater in 371 places in West Sussex. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Balcombe to Brighton (about 15 miles away).
If the service is at a church such as The Parish Church of St Mary, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. Close to Balcombe are historic houses such as Tyes Place (2.1 miles south-west) and Priest House (3.5 miles east). Before booking a historic venue, find out whether it lets an outside bar bring a vehicle on site. Balcombe is within about 8 miles of the High Weald National Landscape, a lovely setting for drinks outdoors. Ask your venue about vehicle access for the truck or trailer.
For Mexican bar hire in RH17, we plan around your venue and the route in and your guests. Your event could be at a home on London Road, Stockcroft Road and Deanland Road. You will find Balcombe on the B2036, so it is easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer.
