Iden questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at The Parish Church of All Saints?
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.
Is Iden close to London?
It is about 51 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
Do we need a licence for the bar?
You’ll need either the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We talk licensing through with you before the day. See GOV.UK for Temporary Event Notices.
When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
What does a Mexican bar cost?
We do not publish set prices, as each event is different. Tell us your plans for a quote.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Planning the bar
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Agree bar timings in advance
- Let us know how many non-drinkers to expect
- Serve food alongside the drinks
- Think about how guests get home
Responsible serving comes first: no alcohol for under-18s, and we may refuse service to anyone who has had too much.
Margaritas for the drinks reception, licensing permitting.
The process
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a picture of the space if you are unsure. A summer drinks reception in Iden has daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. By late September, sunset is about 7:00pm, and in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting around the bar.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the licensing with you.
- You choose the drinks with us.
- We serve drinks responsibly on the day.
- We pack down when the bar closes.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
How to get a price

A Mexican drinks bar in Iden: local tips
Iden is about 11 miles north-east of Hastings, in East Sussex. Give us the address of your event in Iden, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up before the day. Iden is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover. Our nearest city page is Maidstone, about 22 miles away.
Around Iden, historic houses include Lamb House (2.2 miles south) and Smallhythe Place (4.1 miles north). Grand houses and estates tend to have firm rules on alcohol and outside bars, so raise the drinks bar with them early. If the service is at a church such as The Parish Church of All Saints, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. The coast is within about 3 miles, close enough for drinks by the sea. Seafront spots normally need permission, especially for alcohol, and the truck or trailer needs firm ground.
