Drinks bars for events in Hollingbury
Hollingbury is about 2 miles north of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. We serve at events in gardens, halls and venues around Hollingbury and the surrounding area. Hollingbury is one of 30 towns and villages in Brighton and Hove we cover.
If you have your heart set on Wild Park, ask the people who run it about vehicles, alcohol and licensing first. Once the ceremony at a church like Fountain Centre is over, guests may be glad of a cold drink at the reception venue. With the South Downs National Park within about 5 miles, a countryside drinks reception is an option. Check how the venue handles outside bars and vehicles. The coast is within about 3 miles of Hollingbury. Wind, sand and the rules on alcohol in public places all need planning for a seaside bar.
Mexican bar hire in BN1 is planned around your venue and access. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Keymer Road, Warmdene Road and Carden Avenue or the roads around them. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Patcham (1 mile west), Withdean (1 mile south-west), Hollingdean (1 mile south), Preston (1 mile south-west) and Westdene (1 mile west). We also cater in nearby towns such as Brighton and Hove (3 miles south-west), Hove (3 miles south-west), Brunswick (3 miles south), Kemptown (3 miles south), Whitehawk (3 miles south-east) and Aldrington (3 miles south-west).
A little further out are Brighton General Hospital (2.1 miles south) and Churchill Square (2.6 miles south). Open spaces near Hollingbury include Ladies Mile and Ditchling Beacon.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- How long we are needed on site
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Guest numbers
- The menu you choose
Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.
What to tell us

What happens on the day
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a picture of the space if you are unsure. A summer drinks reception in Hollingbury has daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, ideal for drinks outdoors. By late September, sunset is about 7:05pm, and in December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting around the bar.

- We talk licensing through with you.
- You choose the drinks with us.
- We serve drinks responsibly on the day.
- We pack down when the bar closes.
Before we arrive

Questions from Hollingbury
Could you come to a seaside event near Hollingbury?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Wild Park?
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.
Do you cover Hollingbury?
We do. Hollingbury is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you have options for kids?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear 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.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Brighton and Hove. See all areas.
