Step by step
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A picture of the space helps. At midsummer, it’s light in North Chailey until about 9:20pm, 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.

How it compares
Some bars offer little for non-drinkers. Aguas frescas give them something special. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

Common questions in North Chailey
Will you travel to a small place like North Chailey?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of Our Lady?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Can children have drinks from the bar?
Always. Aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata are alcohol-free, along with soft drinks.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you bring staff to serve the drinks?
We bring bar staff.
Do you have a licence to sell alcohol?
You’ll need either the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We will check the licensing with you. GOV.UK explains Temporary Event Notices.
Space, access and the venue
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you. The main points are:
- Details of power and water on site
- Licensing checked with you before the day
- Firm, level ground where we can set up
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
