Questions from Pickhurst
How far is Pickhurst from central London?
It’s about 40 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you come to events in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, including West Sussex. See all areas.
Can we book the bar without food?
Yes, though it pairs well with tacos. Ask about adding tacos and burritos.
Do you have a licence to sell alcohol?
That depends on your venue. Some venues have a premises licence; others need a Temporary Event Notice. We talk it through with you.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Is Mexican bar hire right for your event?
Running your own bar means checking licensing, stock and staff yourself. We’ll go through the licensing with you and bring bar staff. There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican bar hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.

What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. By late September, sunset in Pickhurst 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.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- We talk licensing through 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.
