Mexican bar hire in Hamsey
Hamsey: your questions answered
Could you serve in Railway Land?
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’ll send what they need from us.
Which station should guests use for Hamsey?
The closest is Cooksbridge station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
Is there something for non-drinkers?
Always. Aguas frescas and soft drinks are alcohol-free.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including East Sussex. Find your area.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with 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.

The margarita is the star of the bar: lime, tequila and orange liqueur, served cold, with or without a salted rim. It suits company summer parties and festivals and fairs, with agua de jamaica, aguas frescas and margaritas.

Why choose Mexican bar hire in Hamsey?
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, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What you get with us
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch
- Access, space and power checked in advance

Should I do it myself?
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 will do the serving.
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.

Hamsey: venues, access and licensing
Hamsey is about 1 mile north of Lewes, in East Sussex. Give us the address of your event in Hamsey, and we will plan access and set-up. Hamsey is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover. We cater right across the region, from Hamsey to Brighton (about 7 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Anne of Cleves House (1.9 miles south) and Glyndebourne (2.9 miles south-east). Grand houses and estates tend to have firm rules on alcohol and outside bars, so raise the drinks bar with them early. Older venues around Hamsey may restrict vehicles and outside drinks service, so confirm what’s allowed before booking. An outdoor bar near the South Downs National Park, within about 2 miles of Hamsey, needs firm ground and a way in, plus the right licensing, which we will check with you.

How it works
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. Winter receptions in Hamsey are dark by about 3:55pm in December, so plan where guests will gather, and how it will be lit. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:15pm.
- We check availability.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- We tidy up at the end.
