Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Food, drinks or both
- How many guests we are serving
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
Details that help
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Expected numbers
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- A picture of where we’d park
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, use our quote form.
How our Mexican bar hire works in Hickstead
Our bar staff serve responsibly: alcohol-free drinks on offer, and no alcohol for anyone under 18. It works well for work celebrations and birthday parties, with Mexican beer, agua de jamaica and soft drinks.
In a rural spot like Hickstead, drinks can be served from our food truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, as long as we can get in. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.

A closer look at the menu
Tamarind and fruit waters
Fruit waters are a fresh alcohol-free option.
Margaritas
Tequila, lime and orange liqueur over ice, with or without a salted rim.
How the day works
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. A late-September party in Hickstead loses the light at about 7:05pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:50pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We talk through licensing with you.
- You choose the drinks with us.
- Our bar staff serve your guests at the agreed times.
- We clear the bar at the end.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Hickstead: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Hickstead?
Guests can use Burgess Hill station, about 3.1 miles east of Hickstead.
Could you serve our guests after a service at The Parish Church of St Peter?
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.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
How much does the drinks bar cost?
We quote for each event, based on numbers, drinks and hours. For a price, send us your details through our quote form.
Will someone run the bar?
Yes, our bar staff serve your guests. Responsible serving comes first.
What does Mexican bar hire cost?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a quote.

Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Hickstead. To check your date, send a quick message through our quote form.

That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
What we need at the venue
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- A spot away from neighbours’ windows if the bar runs late
- The right licence for alcohol: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice
- Somewhere to park and unload nearby
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
