Mexican bar hire near Runcton
How our Mexican bar hire works in Runcton
Soft drinks and alcohol-free choices are always part of the bar, so drivers and non-drinkers are not left with tap water. For work celebrations and client events and launches, we can serve soft drinks, aguas frescas and Mexican beer for your guests.
In a rural spot like Runcton, drinks can be served from our truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, as long as we can get in. We will check the licensing with you. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

FAQs for Runcton
Which station should guests use for Runcton?
Guests can use Chichester station, about 1.9 miles north-west of Runcton.
Do you cater at coastal events near Runcton?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Will someone run the bar?
Our bar staff run the bar. Responsible serving comes first.
Can you cater for children?
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.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will talk licensing through with you.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can you keep it mild?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

How the day works
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We’re ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule. By late September, sunset in Runcton comes at roughly 7:05pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:50pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
- Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
- We suggest a drinks list and send a quote.
- On the day we set up the bar and our bar staff serve your guests.
- When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.
Getting ready for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
