Drinks planning tips
Some planning tips for the drinks:
- Plan water alongside the bar
- Let us know how many non-drinkers to expect
- Serve food alongside the drinks

Drinks bars for events in Guestling
Guestling is about 3 miles north-east of Hastings, in East Sussex. Give us the address of your event in Guestling, and we will plan the journey and set-up. We cover all 289 towns and villages across East Sussex. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 33 miles away.
Historic buildings near Guestling often have strict rules for outside caterers, so ask early if that’s your venue. Once the ceremony at a church like St Laurence's Church is over, guests may be glad of a cold drink at the reception venue. The coast is within about 4 miles, close enough for drinks by the sea. Seafront spots generally need permission, especially for alcohol, and the truck or trailer needs firm ground.
Wherever your event is in TN35, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. From Pett Road, Chapel Lane and Winchelsea Road or a nearby road, we will plan where to park and serve. We also serve at events in Guestling Green (1 mile north-east), Friar's Hill (1 mile east), Bachelor's Bump (1 mile south-west), Fairlight (1 mile south-east) and Ore (2 miles south-west). Further out, we also cater in Hastings (3 miles south-west), Bexhill-on-Sea (8 miles west), St Leonards (4 miles south-west), Hastings Old Town (3 miles south-west), Belmont (3 miles south-west) and Langney (15 miles south-west).
A little further out are Barn Theatre and Museum (2.1 miles west) and Conquest Hospital (2.7 miles west). The countryside around Guestling includes Church Wood and Robsack Wood.
- Local schools include Buckswood School (0.8 miles north) and The Hastings Academy (0.9 miles south-west)
- Local pubs include The White Hart Public House (less than half a mile south-west)
Step by step
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, planned around your event. A summer drinks reception in Guestling has daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. In late September it’s dark around 7:00pm, and in December by about 3:55pm, so evening bars need lighting.

Planning help
Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Comparing your options
A self-service drinks table is simple but can run dry or go warm. A staffed bar keeps everything under control. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why book with us
- Service planned around your numbers
- A menu agreed with you
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- A plan agreed before the day

Guestling: your questions answered
Can you serve near the sea around Guestling?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
How far is Guestling from central London?
About 53 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
What drinks do you serve?
Our bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata.
Can we have the bar on its own?
Yes, though it pairs well with tacos. Our Mexican catering can be added too.
Do you follow the rules on serving alcohol?
Yes. No alcohol is served to under-18s, and we may refuse service to anyone who has had too much.
Can you keep it mild?
It is up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
How much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.

What else we do in Guestling
Why choose Mexican bar hire in Guestling?
Aguas frescas mean non-drinkers get something special too.
Whatever the occasion, the serving truck can be a highlight. We are happy to cater:
- Milestone birthdays
- Product launches and client events
- End-of-year and Christmas parties
- Work celebrations
Serving alcohol in Speckled Wood would need the owner’s permission and probably a licence, so a garden or venue is often simpler.
What your quote should include
- A clear list of what’s included
- How dietary needs and allergies are handled
- The deposit and payment dates
- Staff numbers and hours
Where the truck can go in Guestling
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- The right licence for alcohol: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice
- A spot away from neighbours’ windows if the bar runs late
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
