A Mexican drinks bar in Cootham: local tips
Cootham is about 7 miles north-west of Worthing, in West Sussex. Whether your event is in the middle of Cootham or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cover all 371 towns and villages in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 16 miles away.
If the service is at a church such as Cootham Village Hall, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. If you’re looking at a historic venue around Cootham, check its rules on outside bars and vehicles early. Cootham is within about 4 miles of the South Downs National Park, a lovely setting for drinks outdoors. Ask your venue about vehicle access for the truck or trailer.
Wherever your event is in RH20, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.

What affects the price in Cootham
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Food, drinks or both
- The length of service
- Whether you need disposables
- Staff for serving and the bar
Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- The venue or postcode

- What you’d like on the menu
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field

Cootham questions
How far is Cootham from London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
Which station should guests use for Cootham?
Pulborough station, about 3.3 miles north-west of the centre.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.
Do you check ages at the bar?
Always. No alcohol is served to under-18s, and anyone who has had too much will not be served more.
Do we need a licence for the bar?
That depends on your venue. Some venues have a premises licence; others need a Temporary Event Notice. We talk it through with you.
Do you have alcohol-free drinks?
Yes. Aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata are alcohol-free.
Do you cover Cootham?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Cootham and across West Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t usually stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Planning the bar
A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:
- Think about how guests get home
- Check allergies with guests, including for drinks
- Tell us when the bar should open and close
- Tell us how many guests are under 18
There are always alcohol-free options.
A welcome margarita as guests arrive, licensing permitting.
Is Mexican bar hire right for your event?
DIY bars leave you handling licensing and staffing. We’ll check the licensing with you and bring bar staff. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
Why us?
- Book food, drinks or both
- Allergen information for everything we serve
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch

How the day works
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. By late September, sunset in Cootham comes at roughly 7:05pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. In late May, it stays light until about 8:50pm.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We check the licensing with you.
- We agree a drinks menu.
- Our bar staff serve your guests at the agreed times.
- We pack down when the bar closes.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
How to get a price
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
