Mexican bar hire in East Dean
How our Mexican bar hire works in East Dean
Margaritas are the centrepiece: tequila, lime and orange liqueur over ice. On the menu are agua de jamaica, soft drinks and Mexican beer, and it suits taco nights and themed parties and engagement and anniversary parties.
In a rural spot like East Dean, 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. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

The process
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. Winter receptions in East Dean are dark by about 4:00pm in December, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. Midsummer is the opposite, with daylight until about 9:20pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
- We talk licensing through with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- You get a suggested drinks menu and a quote.
- On the day, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
- We pack away when the bar shuts and leave the area tidy.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve

Prices and what affects them
We quote for your event, which reflects:
- Distance and access to the venue
- How long we’re needed on site
- The menu you choose
- Food, drinks or both
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.

- Your menu ideas
- Where the event is
- The date and rough timings
- Expected numbers

Drinks planning tips

- Let us know how many non-drinkers to expect
- Include aguas frescas for non-drinkers
We adapt if the timings shift.
Pair the bar with tacos, burritos and nachos.
Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
