Drinks receptions around Chilgrove
Chilgrove is about 6 miles north of Chichester, in West Sussex. From the centre of Chilgrove to the outskirts, Mexican bar hire works the same way: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We serve in 371 places across West Sussex, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. You can also see our page for Chichester, about 6 miles away.
Older venues around Chilgrove may restrict vehicles and outside drinks service, so confirm what’s allowed before booking. An outdoor bar near the South Downs National Park, within about 5 miles of Chilgrove, needs firm ground and a way in, plus the right licensing, which we will check with you.

Tips for a smooth bar
A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:
- Allow time for a Temporary Event Notice if one is needed
- Collect allergy details in advance
- Share taxi numbers with guests
- Agree bar timings in advance
We serve responsibly: no alcohol for under-18s, and we may refuse service to anyone who has had too much.

Chilgrove: your questions answered
Is Chilgrove close to London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the South Downs National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Do you cover Chilgrove?
We do. Chilgrove is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so contact us early.
How much does the drinks bar cost?
Every bar is quoted for individually, depending on guests, drinks and timings. For a price, send a quick message through our quote form.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
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.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we have agreed, planned around your event. Sunset in Chilgrove is around 9:20pm in June, which suits an outdoor bar. String lights or lanterns near the hatch make a later bar easier to find.

Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
