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.
- Send us your date, venue, numbers and drinks ideas.
- We talk through licensing with you, whether that is the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- We put together a drinks menu, with alcohol-free choices, and quote for it.
- 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
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches

Common questions in Ringmer

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.
