About our Mexican bar hire in Newhaven
A Mexican drinks bar brings margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas to your event, with bar staff to serve your guests. It works on its own or alongside our food. For taco nights and themed parties and milestone birthdays, we can serve soft drinks, Mexican beer and agua de jamaica.
For celebrations in Newhaven, a drinks bar alongside tacos makes a full menu. Let us know about the venue and the route in. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. By late September, sunset in Newhaven comes at roughly 7:05pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:50pm.
- We check availability.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- We tidy up at the end.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

Common questions in Newhaven
Can you serve near the sea around Newhaven?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you come to events 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.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you cover Newhaven?
Yes, we do. Newhaven is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
What drinks do you serve?
Our bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata.
Do you have alcohol-free drinks?
Always. Aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata are alcohol-free.

That depends on your venue. If the venue has no licence, a Temporary Event Notice may be needed. We talk it 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.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Mexican bar hire or something else?
Running your own bar means checking licensing, stock and staff yourself. We talk through licensing and provide bar staff. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
