Drinks bars for events in Hollingdean
Hollingdean is about 1 mile north of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. We cater events at gardens, halls and venues around Hollingdean. Hollingdean is one of 30 towns and villages in Brighton and Hove where we can bring Mexican bar hire.
If the service is at a church such as St Richard's, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. Close to Hollingdean are historic houses such as Preston Manor & Gardens (0.9 miles west) and Royal Pavilion (1.5 miles south). Many listed venues control who serves drinks on their premises, so ask yours what it allows. Hollingdean is within about 6 miles of the South Downs National Park, a lovely setting for drinks outdoors. Ask your venue about vehicle access for the truck or trailer. The coast is within about 2 miles, close enough for drinks by the sea. Seafront spots usually need permission, especially for alcohol, and the truck or trailer needs firm ground.
Mexican bar hire in BN1 and BN2 is planned around your venue and access and your guests. Whether your event is on Mayo Road, Dewe Road and Rugby Road or anywhere nearby, we will plan where to park and serve. Other places close to Hollingdean for Mexican bar hire include Brighton (1 mile south), Preston (1 mile west), Moulsecoomb (1 mile east), Prestonville (1 mile south-west) and Hanover (1 mile south). Within a short drive, we also cover Brighton and Hove (3 miles west), Aldrington (3 miles west), Hangleton (3 miles west), Saltdean (5 miles south-east), East Saltdean (5 miles south-east) and Roedean (3 miles south-east). As one of the bigger places in Brighton and Hove, Hollingdean has plenty of venues and spaces for events, though town-centre access for a truck or trailer needs planning.
A little further out are Brighton General Hospital (1.1 miles south-east) and Clayton Castle (4.6 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Newmarket Hill and Bevendean Down.
- Local schools include Varndean School (0.5 miles north-west) and Varndean College (0.8 miles north-west)
- Nearby, you will find The Pub at Fiveways (under half a mile west)
Step by step
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not typically stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. In December, the light goes in Hollingdean at about 3:55pm, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. Midsummer is the opposite, with daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Send us your date, venue, numbers and drinks ideas.
- Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
- We put together a drinks menu, with alcohol-free choices, and quote for it.
- On the day we set up the bar and our bar staff serve your guests.
- After service, we clear the bar away.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

Why choose Mexican bar hire in Hollingdean?
DIY bars leave you handling licensing and staffing. We will check the licensing with you and bring bar staff. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
What you get with us

- A clear quote

Occasions we cater for in Hollingdean
Alcohol-free guests get more than squash.
A truck or trailer suits almost any gathering. In Hollingdean, you could book us for occasions like:
- Mexican-themed parties
- Launch parties
- Engagement and anniversary parties
- Garden parties
Serving alcohol in William Clarke Park would need the owner’s permission and probably a licence, so a garden or venue is often simpler.
What to look for in a quote
- How bad weather is handled
- A food hygiene rating you can check
- The deadline for final numbers
- How each diet is kept separate
What Mexican bar hire costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How many staff you need
- Parking and the route in
- The number of people
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- What you’d like on the menu
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
About the menu
Mexican beer
Cold Mexican lager with lime, ideal with tacos.
Agua de jamaica
Agua de jamaica is bright and refreshing.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Before you choose a spot
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Firm, level ground where we can set up
- A premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice in place
- Vehicle access near the bar
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Menu ideas
- Agua de jamaica (hibiscus)
- Margaritas
- Fruit aguas frescas
- Mexican beer
- Soft drinks
- Horchata
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about 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.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
