Tips for a smooth bar
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Share bar opening times
- Ask guests about allergies
- Make sure drivers have good choices
- Share taxi numbers with guests
After service, we clear the bar away.
Aguas frescas for children and non-drinkers.
Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

Questions from Rottingdean
Can you serve near the sea around Rottingdean?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots usually need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
How far is Rottingdean from central London?
It’s about 47 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. For alcohol, we will talk licensing through with you and your venue.
Can we book the bar without food?
Yes, though it pairs well with tacos. Ask about adding tacos and burritos.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.

Step by step
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue.

In late September it’s dark around 7:05pm, and in December by about 3:55pm, so evening bars need lighting.
- We check availability.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
