Mexican bar hire near Bodiam
DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

A Mexican drinks bar in Bodiam: local tips
Bodiam is about 10 miles north of Hastings, in East Sussex. For Mexican bar hire in Bodiam, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards. Bodiam is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex where we can bring Mexican bar hire. You can also see our page for Royal Tunbridge Wells, about 15 miles away.
If the service is at a church such as The Parish Church of St Giles, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. For a drinks-led event, rail details help, and the nearest station is Robertsbridge station, about 3.3 miles south-west. The High Weald National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Bodiam, a lovely setting for drinks outdoors. Ask your venue about vehicle access for the truck or trailer.

The process
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A photo of the space helps. A late-September party in Bodiam loses the light at about 7:00pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. In late May, it stays light until about 8:45pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
How to get a price

Do you cater in villages like Bodiam?

Do you cater in the High Weald 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.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Who handles the licensing?
It depends on the venue. If the venue has no licence, a Temporary Event Notice may be needed. We talk it through with you.

Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.

Our bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata, plus alcohol-free choices.
