How the day works

Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. Evening drinks in Chelwood Common stay light until about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, which suits an outdoor bar. String lights or lanterns near the hatch make a later bar easier to find.

  1. You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
  2. We talk through licensing with you, whether that is the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
  3. You get a suggested drinks menu and a quote.
  4. On the day we set up the bar and our bar staff serve your guests.
  5. We pack away when the bar shuts and leave the area tidy.

Planning a drinks bar in Chelwood Common

Chelwood Common is about 6 miles north-east of Haywards Heath, in West Sussex. For an event in Chelwood Common, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards. Chelwood Common is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 16 miles away.

A drinks bar at a garden or hall near a church like Chelwood Gate Church gives guests something to enjoy while photos are taken. Close to Chelwood Common are historic houses such as Priest House (3.9 miles north-west) and Standen (4.5 miles north). Many listed venues control who serves drinks on their premises, so ask yours what it allows. With the High Weald National Landscape within about 4 miles, a countryside drinks reception is an option. Check how the venue handles outside bars and vehicles.

Anywhere in RH17, we can bring Mexican bar hire to you. Streets in the area include Baxters Lane, Tanyard Lane and Box's Lane, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby.

Chelwood Common questions

Can you cater a reception after a service at Chelwood Gate Church?

Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.

Will you travel to a small place like Chelwood Common?

Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.

What food and drinks do you offer?

Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.

Do you cater for vegetarian guests?

Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we will keep their options separate.

Do you come to Chelwood Common?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Chelwood Common is within our area and the rest of West Sussex. For a quote, use our quote form.

What access do you need?

The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.

What does Mexican bar hire cost?

We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a quote.

Can you cater for children?

Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll suggest mild options.

How it compares

Bring-your-own is simple but uneven. A staffed bar means everyone is served, including non-drinkers. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
