Mexican bar hire in Rodmell
How it works
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, planned around your event. Winter receptions in Rodmell are dark by about 3:55pm in December, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:15pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- We tidy up at the end.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
Ask for a quote

Is Mexican bar hire right for your event?
A self-service drinks table is simple but can run dry or go warm. Bar staff keep drinks flowing and cold. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

Planning a drinks bar in Rodmell
Rodmell is about 3 miles south of Lewes, in East Sussex. Events in Rodmell are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. We serve in all 289 towns and villages across East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 6 miles away.
Serving alcohol in Lewes and Laughton Levels would need the owner’s permission and probably a licence, so a garden or venue is often simpler. Couples leaving a church such as St Peter's Church could be greeted with margaritas and aguas frescas at the reception. The South Downs National Park is within about 3 miles of Rodmell, a lovely setting for drinks outdoors. Ask your venue about vehicle access for the truck or trailer. With the sea within about 6 miles, a seaside drinks reception is an option. Seafront spots normally need permission, especially for alcohol, and the truck or trailer needs firm ground.
We serve at events all over the BN7 postcode area and the streets around it. Whether your event is on Mill Lane, Badgers Dene and The Paddocks or anywhere nearby, we’ll plan where to park and serve. Close by, we cover events in Northease (1 mile north-west), Iford (1 mile north-west), Piddinghoe (2 miles south-east), Kingston near Lewes (2 miles north-west) and Telscombe (2 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include Eastbourne (12 miles east), Seaford (6 miles south-east), Lewes (3 miles north), Hailsham (11 miles east), Uckfield (10 miles north-east) and Newhaven (3 miles south-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Lewes Castle (2.7 miles north) and Lewes Victoria Hospital (2.9 miles north). The countryside around Rodmell includes Southerham Farm and Itford Hill.
- Other local spots include Southover Without (1.8 miles north)
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
What Mexican bar hire costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- What’s on the menu
- Parking and the route in
Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- The date and time of the event
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we will make suggestions. When you’re ready, use our quote form.
Planning the bar
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Give us numbers for children
- Pair the bar with hot food
- Think about how guests get home
- Plan alcohol-free drinks for drivers
Our bar staff serve throughout the agreed hours, and keep the bar tidy.
Ask us about glassware or cups and we will set out the options.
Questions from Rodmell
Could you come to a seaside event near Rodmell?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots normally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
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). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.

We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Do you cater in Rodmell?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Rodmell and across East Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.

Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll go through the licensing with you and your venue.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
