What happens on the day

From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event. A summer drinks reception in East Ashling has daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. In late September it is dark around 7:05pm, and in December by about 4:00pm, so evening bars need lighting.

  1. Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
  2. We talk through licensing with you.
  3. We agree a drinks menu.
  4. Our bar staff serve your guests at the agreed times.
  5. We pack down when the bar closes.

FAQs for East Ashling

Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.

Which station is closest to East Ashling?

Guests can use Bosham station, about 1.4 miles south of East Ashling.

Do you have a licence to sell alcohol?

It depends on the venue. If the venue has no licence, a Temporary Event Notice may be needed. We talk it through with you.

Do you have dairy-free options?

Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll include them in the plan.

How much space 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 picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.

Will someone run the bar?

Bar staff are part of the service, and serve throughout the agreed hours.

How much is a food truck for an event?

Prices and what affects them

Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:

  • Food, drinks or both
  • Travel, parking and access
  • What’s on the menu
  • Whether you need disposables

There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican bar hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.

What we need to know

To check availability and price, we need:

  • Roughly how many adults and children
  • Gate widths, slopes and the ground
  • Your date and when you want service to start
  • What power and water the site has

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just use our quote form.

Planners, venues and businesses

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.

Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.

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.

Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
