  • What the venue already provides
  • Your choice of food and drinks
  • Food, drinks or both

When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.

What we need to know

You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:

  • Roughly how many adults and children
  • What power and water the site has
  • The venue or postcode
  • How we drive in and where we can park

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

Occasions we cater for in Ringmer

You can book it with or without catering.

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

  • Weddings, day or evening
  • Company summer parties
  • Licensed festivals
  • Milestone birthdays

Once the ceremony at a church like The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin is over, guests may be glad of a cold drink at the reception venue.

  • Whether VAT is included
  • When payment is due
  • What happens if it rains

Choosing a Mexican caterer

Is Mexican bar hire right for your event?

A generic bar does the job, but margaritas and aguas frescas give the bar character. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What you get with us

  • Options for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests
  • A clear quote
  • A menu built around your guests
  • Catering across East Sussex, including Ringmer

Take a look at our prices page or what Mexican catering costs.

DIY taco night versus a caterer

You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

Drinks planning tips

To get the most from the bar, it helps to:

  • Allow time for a Temporary Event Notice if one is needed
  • Ensure drivers have good choices
  • Share taxi numbers with guests
  • Collect allergy details in advance

We set up the bar before guests arrive, so drinks are ready when you are.

Alcohol-free aguas frescas for all ages.

How the day works

It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our food truck or trailer, and get on with serving. In December, the light goes in Ringmer at about 3:55pm, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:15pm.

  1. Send us your date, venue, numbers and drinks ideas.
  2. We talk through licensing with you, whether that is the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
  3. We put together a drinks menu, with alcohol-free choices, and quote for it.
  4. We arrive, set up and serve margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
  5. We pack away when the bar shuts and leave the area tidy.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
  • Let us know the timings for the day

Common questions in Ringmer

Could you serve our guests after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin?

Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.

Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.

How long are you on site?

We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.

What’s on the menu?

We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.

What does Mexican bar hire cost?

The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.

Do you cater in Ringmer?

We do. Ringmer is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.

Do you have gluten-free options?

Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?

Can you plan for allergies?

Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.

  • Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
  • Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
