The process
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we have agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. By late September, sunset in Brighton comes at roughly 7:05pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:50pm.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We talk through licensing with you.
- You choose the drinks with us.
- We serve drinks responsibly on the day.
- We pack down when the bar closes.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.

How our Mexican bar hire works in Brighton
Serving alcohol at events needs a licence: either the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We’ll talk licensing through with you. At end-of-year parties and wedding drinks receptions, we can serve aguas frescas, agua de jamaica and Mexican beer for your guests.
A Mexican drinks bar keeps a reception in Brighton moving. Tell us about town-centre access and loading. You will know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Common questions in Brighton
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Do you cater at coastal events near Brighton?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
Do you come to Brighton?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Brighton is within our area. For a quote, tell us about it on our contact page.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
Do you cook on site?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
What affects the price in Brighton
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Parking and the route in
- Serving staff
- How long we are needed on site
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican bar hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- What you’d like on the menu
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Roughly how many adults and children
The quickest way to a quote is to send a quick message through our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll suggest a menu to suit.
Where the truck can go in Brighton
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- Agreement from the venue for our bar
- A clear area in front of the bar
- Firm, level ground where we can set up
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Agua de jamaica (hibiscus)
- Fruit aguas frescas
- Margaritas
- Mexican beer
- Horchata
- Soft drinks
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.

Planning a drinks bar in Brighton
Brighton is in Brighton and Hove. Wherever your event is in the BN1 area, we can serve your guests. Brighton is one of 30 towns and villages in Brighton and Hove we cover.
Parks such as William Clarke Park have their own rules on vehicles and alcohol, so check before planning a drinks bar there. For a drinks-led event, rail details help, and London Road (Brighton) station is in Brighton itself. Brighton is within about 7 miles of the South Downs National Park, a lovely setting for drinks outdoors. Ask your venue about vehicle access for the truck or trailer. The coast is within about 2 miles, close enough for drinks by the sea. Seafront spots normally need permission, especially for alcohol, and the truck or trailer needs firm ground.
