Mexican bar hire for Barcombe events
How our Mexican bar hire works in Barcombe
Mexican beer is served cold, with a wedge of lime if guests like. We serve alcohol-free drinks, soft drinks and aguas frescas, and it’s a good fit for end-of-year and Christmas parties and themed celebrations.
In a rural spot like Barcombe, drinks can be served from our food truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, given access. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.

How it works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. By late September, sunset in Barcombe comes at roughly 7:05pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. In late May, it stays light until about 8:50pm.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- We talk licensing through with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- You get a suggested drinks menu and a quote.
- On the day we set up the bar and our bar staff serve your guests.
- When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Ask the venue about power and water
Getting a price
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
