- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Your choice of food and drinks
- The length of service

DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Your questions about Mexican bar hire in Friston
Do you come to events in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
How far is Friston from central London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Do you cook on site?
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.
Why choose Mexican bar hire in Friston?
A self-service drinks table is simple but can run dry or go warm. A staffed bar keeps everything under control. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
