A Mexican drinks bar in Pipsden: local tips
Pipsden is about 12 miles north of Hastings, in Kent. From the centre of Pipsden to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We serve in 922 places in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 29 miles away.
Serving alcohol in Collingwood Nature Reserve would need the owner’s permission and probably a licence, so a garden or venue is often simpler. Couples leaving a church such as Church of All Saints could be greeted with margaritas and aguas frescas at the reception. An outdoor bar near the High Weald National Landscape, within about 4 miles of Pipsden, needs firm ground and a way in, plus the right licensing, which we will check with you.

Questions from Pipsden
We are having a ceremony at Church of All Saints: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service typically suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Can we have the bar on its own?
Yes. Book the bar on its own.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.

How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. By late September, sunset in Pipsden comes at roughly 7:00pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:50pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
- We talk through licensing with you, whether that’s the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- You get a suggested drinks menu and a quote.
- We arrive, set up and serve margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
- We pack away when the bar shuts and leave the area tidy.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve

What affects the price in Pipsden
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long we’re needed on site
- How many staff you need
- Distance and access to the venue
- Guest numbers
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
