Planners, venues and businesses

For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.

Occasions we cater for in Playden

You can book it with or without catering.

Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Common bookings include:

  • Wedding receptions and evening parties
  • Mexican-themed parties
  • Engagement celebrations
  • Garden parties

If the service is at a church such as The Parish Church of St Michael, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church.

How to compare caterers

DIY taco night or a caterer?

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. 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.

Your questions about Mexican bar hire in Playden

Which station should guests use for Playden?

Guests can use Rye station, about 0.7 miles south of Playden.

Can you serve near the sea around Playden?

Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots typically need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.

Do you have options for kids?

Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.

What do you serve?

Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.

Do you cater for coeliacs?

We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.

Do you provide allergen information for each dish?

We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.

Can you cater in a back garden?

Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space.

Do you have vegan options?

Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.

Planning the bar

A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:

  • Have plenty of water available
  • Allow time for a Temporary Event Notice if one is needed
  • Agree bar timings in advance
  • Check how alcohol will be licensed at your venue

There are always alcohol-free options.

Extra bar staff for busy events, quoted for your event.

Why choose Mexican bar hire in Playden?

How the day works

We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. A late-September party in Playden loses the light at about 7:00pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. In late May, it stays light until about 8:45pm.

  1. We check availability.
  2. We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
  3. We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
  4. The bar opens at the agreed time.
  5. When the bar shuts, we clear away.

How to prepare

  • Ask the venue about power and water
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

How to get a price

Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
