What else we do in Jacob's Post
Tips for a smooth bar
A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:
- Include aguas frescas for non-drinkers
- Give the council notice in good time for a Temporary Event Notice
- Think about how guests get home
- Have plenty of water available
We can give allergen information for every drink, so guests can check before ordering.
Alcohol-free aguas frescas for all ages.
The process
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. Winter receptions in Jacob's Post are dark by about 3:55pm in December, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
- We check the licensing with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- 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.
- When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
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.
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Access to unload close to the bar spot
- A flat, firm spot for the bar
- The venue’s permission for an outside bar
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the South Downs National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.

Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. For alcohol, we’ll check the licensing with you and your venue.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
