Questions from Chidham
Do you cater at coastal events near Chidham?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
What’s the nearest station to Chidham for guests?
The closest is Nutbourne station, roughly 1 mile away.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Do we need a licence for the bar?
Alcohol at an event needs the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We go through the licensing with you before the day. GOV.UK explains Temporary Event Notices.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we’ll talk it through.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
About our Mexican bar hire in Chidham
Our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, served by our bar staff. You can book it alone or with our Mexican catering. It suits work celebrations and launch parties, with aguas frescas, alcohol-free drinks and agua de jamaica.
In a rural spot like Chidham, drinks can be served from our food truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, as long as we can get in. We’ll talk licensing through with you. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Drinks receptions around Chidham
Chidham is about 4 miles west of Chichester, in West Sussex. We cater events at gardens, halls and venues around Chidham. Chidham is one of 371 places in West Sussex where we can bring Mexican bar hire.
Guests travelling by rail: Nutbourne station is about 1 mile away. If the service is at a church such as The Parish Church of St Mary, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. Drinks by the sea could work, as Chidham is within about 6 miles of the coast. Licensing on the seafront needs checking, and we’ll do that with you.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
What happens on the day
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. A late-September party in Chidham loses the light at about 7:05pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:50pm.
