Hailsham: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at The Parish Church of Saint Mary?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Which station is closest to Hailsham?
Guests can use Polegate station, about 3 miles south of Hailsham.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we’ll park.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll suggest mild options.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Do you do drinks only?
Yes, though it pairs well with tacos. Our Mexican catering can be added too.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. By late September, sunset in Hailsham 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.
- First, we check your date.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

Planning a drinks bar in Hailsham
Hailsham is about 6 miles north of Eastbourne, in East Sussex. Across the BN27 area, we can bring the truck or trailer to you, as long as there is access. Hailsham is one of 289 places in East Sussex where we can bring Mexican bar hire. We cater right across the region, from Hailsham to Brighton (17 miles away).
Historic houses near Hailsham include Horselunges Manor (1.5 miles north) and Michelham Priory (1.9 miles west). Many listed venues control who serves drinks on their premises, so ask yours what it allows. For guests coming by train, Polegate station is about 3 miles away. The South Downs National Park is within about 6 miles of Hailsham, a lovely setting for drinks outdoors. Ask your venue about vehicle access for the truck or trailer.
Here we cover the BN27 postcode area, so your event can be anywhere in it. Streets in the area include High Street, Market Place and Station Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Hailsham sits on or near the A271 and A295, which makes travel to your event easy. We also serve at events in Tile Hurst (1 mile north-west), Upper Horsebridge (1 mile north), Hellingly (1 mile north), Lower Horsebridge (1 mile north-west) and Magham Down (2 miles north-east). Larger places within reach include Eastbourne (6 miles south), Hastings (13 miles east), Bexhill-on-Sea (9 miles east), Seaford (9 miles south-west), Lewes (11 miles west) and Crowborough (14 miles north). As one of the bigger places in East Sussex, Hailsham has lots of places to hold an event, though town-centre access for a truck or trailer needs planning.
Well-known places in the area include Herstmonceux Castle (3.6 miles east) and Amberstone Hospital (1.5 miles north-east). Not far away are Combe Hill.
- Schools near Hailsham include White House Academy (under half a mile east)
- Nearby, you will find The Grenadier pub (within half a mile north)
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The length of service
- The menu you choose
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Serving staff
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just send us your details through our quote form.
Why choose Mexican bar hire in Hailsham?
Leaving guests to bring their own is easy but unpredictable. A staffed bar means everyone is served, including non-drinkers. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
What you get with us
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- Quoted for your event
- Menus for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- Allergen information for every dish
Read how we price or our guide to catering costs.
Tips for a smooth bar
A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:
- Tell us how many guests are under 18
- Tell us when the bar should open and close
- Make sure drivers have good choices
- Share taxi numbers with guests
Responsible serving comes first: no alcohol for under-18s, and we may refuse service to anyone who has had too much.
Pair the bar with tacos, burritos and nachos.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
