Is Mexican bar hire right for your event?
Some bars offer little for non-drinkers. Aguas frescas give them something special. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.

How we price Mexican bar hire
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- What the venue already provides
- Guest numbers
- Staff for serving and the bar
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- What power and water the site has
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you’ll get menu ideas and a price. To get started, send a quick message through our quote form.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
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’ll do the serving.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is 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.

The process
Here’s how the day typically runs: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. By late September, sunset in Eastbourne comes at roughly 7:00pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. In late May, it stays light until about 8:50pm.
- We check availability.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We tidy up at the end.
How to prepare

A gathering in Princes Park? Check the park’s rules first, as alcohol and vehicles generally need permission. Older venues around Eastbourne may restrict vehicles and outside drinks service, so confirm what’s allowed before booking. Eastbourne is within about 6 miles of the South Downs National Park, a lovely setting for drinks outdoors. Ask your venue about vehicle access for the truck or trailer. The coast is within about 2 miles of Eastbourne. Wind, sand and the rules on alcohol in public places all need planning for a seaside bar.

FAQs for Eastbourne
Could you serve in Princes Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
How far is Eastbourne from London?
It is about 52 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do we need a licence for the bar?
That depends on your venue. If the venue has no licence, a Temporary Event Notice may be needed. We will talk licensing through with you.
Do you check ages at the bar?
Yes. No alcohol is served to under-18s, and anyone who has had too much will not be served more.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
