FAQs for Glyndebourne
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the South Downs National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
We are having a ceremony at St Mary's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Can you run a bar?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Do you check ages at the bar?
Our bar staff serve responsibly: alcohol-free drinks for under-18s, and we offer water and alcohol-free choices throughout.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we will recommend how to serve.
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Glyndebourne? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
Drinks planning tips
A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:
- Let us know how many non-drinkers to expect
- Ask your venue about its licence early
- Plan water alongside the bar
- Share bar opening times

How we price Mexican bar hire
These are the factors that matter most:
- How many guests we are serving
- What the venue already provides
- Distance and access to the venue
- What’s on the menu
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Your menu ideas
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
- The date and rough timings
- How we drive in and where we can park
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll send you a clear quote and a suggested menu.
How it works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. A late-September party in Glyndebourne loses the light at about 7:05pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. In late May, it stays light until about 8:50pm.
- Send us your date, venue, numbers and drinks ideas.
- Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
- You get a suggested drinks menu and a quote.
- On the day, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
- After service, we clear the bar away.
Preparing for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
