Mexican bar hire for Brightling events
How our Mexican bar hire works in Brightling
Pair the bar with our Mexican catering for tacos, burritos and nachos, so food and drinks come from one booking. It suits garden get-togethers and end-of-year parties, with agua de jamaica, soft drinks and alcohol-free drinks.
In a rural spot like Brightling, 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. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Brightling questions
Is Brightling close to London?
It’s about 43 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you cater in villages like Brightling?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we will talk it through.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
How the day works
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. At midsummer, it is light in Brightling until about 9:15pm, ideal for drinks outdoors. By late September, sunset is about 7:00pm, and in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting around the bar.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
- We go through the licensing with you: 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.
- When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
