In a rural spot like Norton, drinks can be served from our food truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, as long as we can get in. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

Organising for someone else?
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. A summer drinks reception in Norton has daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. By late September, sunset is about 7:05pm, and in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting around the bar.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- We check the licensing with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- We suggest a drinks list and send a quote.
- We arrive, set up and serve margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
- After service, we clear the bar away.
Preparing for the day

FAQs for Norton
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.
Could you come to a seaside event near Norton?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots generally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll suggest mild options.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, East Sussex included. Find your area.
Do you provide bar staff?
We bring bar staff.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Mexican bar hire or something else?
DIY drinks tables are easy but need constant topping up. Bar staff keep drinks flowing and cold. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
What we offer in Norton
- Allergen-aware menus
- A truck or trailer that comes to you

A Mexican drinks bar in Norton: local tips
Norton is about 2 miles east of Newhaven, in East Sussex. For an event in Norton, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards in and around Norton. We cover 289 places in East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 10 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Alfriston Clergy House (3.2 miles east) and Firle Place (3.3 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 you have your heart set on Castle Hill, ask the people who run it about vehicles, alcohol and licensing first. With the South Downs National Park within about 4 miles, a countryside drinks reception is an option. Check how the venue handles outside bars and vehicles. Drinks by the sea could work, as Norton is within about 2 miles of the coast. Licensing on the seafront needs checking, and we’ll do that with you.
