Book Mexican bar hire in Rustington

Mexican bar hire or something else?

DIY drinks tables are easy but need constant topping up. A staffed bar keeps everything under control. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

Mexican bar hire in Rustington, served fresh

Margaritas are the centrepiece: tequila, lime and orange liqueur over ice. At licensed festivals and staff parties, we can serve agua de jamaica, margaritas and aguas frescas.

In Rustington, a drinks bar works at home or in a local hall, with access for the truck or trailer. Aguas frescas and soft drinks cover guests who are not drinking alcohol. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.

What Mexican bar hire costs

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:

What the venue already provides
How many guests we’re serving
Staff for serving and the bar
Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food

Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.

What to tell us

You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:

What you’d like on the menu
The venue or postcode
Diets and allergies you know about
A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field

Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.

DIY taco night versus a caterer

Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.

For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.

Popular choices

Horchata

Cinnamon-spiced rice drink, served cold.

Mexican beer

Cold Mexican lager with lime.

Planning the serving area

No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:

Space for guests to queue at the bar
A premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice in place
A flat, firm spot for the bar

Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

For planners, venues and organisers

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.

Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.

How it works

The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. At midsummer, it’s light in Rustington until about 9:20pm, ideal for drinks outdoors. By late September, sunset is about 7:05pm, and in December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting around the bar.

Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
We check the licensing with you.
You choose the drinks with us.
We serve drinks responsibly on the day.
We clear the bar at the end.

Still deciding on the menu? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we will suggest a menu. When you’re ready, tell us about it on our contact page.

Choosing a Mexican caterer

A Mexican drinks bar in Rustington: local tips

Rustington is about 5 miles west of Worthing, in West Sussex. From the centre of Rustington to the outskirts, Mexican bar hire works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We serve in all 371 towns and villages in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater right across the region, from Rustington to Brighton (about 17 miles away).

Anyone leaving the car at home will want to know that the nearest station is Angmering station, about 0.9 miles east. Parks such as Mewsbrook Park have their own rules on vehicles and alcohol, so check before planning a drinks bar there. An outdoor bar near the South Downs National Park, within about 7 miles of Rustington, needs firm ground and a way in, plus the right licensing, which we will check with you. The coast is within about 2 miles of Rustington. Wind, sand and the rules on alcohol in public places all need planning for a seaside bar.

Wherever your event is in BN16 and BN17, we can bring Mexican bar hire to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your event is on Church Road, The Street and Station Road or anywhere nearby, we will plan where to park and serve. Rustington sits on or near the B2140, which makes travel to your event easy. Nearby, we also cater events in Littlehampton (1 mile west), Toddington (1 mile north-west), Poling (2 miles north), Wick (2 miles west) and Lyminster (2 miles north-west). We also cater in nearby towns such as Worthing (5 miles east), Bognor Regis (8 miles west), Chichester (12 miles west), Selsey (13 miles south-west), Shoreham-by-Sea (11 miles east) and Lancing (8 miles east).

Nearby you will also find Zachary Merton Hospital (under half a mile south-east) and Lyminster Siege Castle (3 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include WWT Arundel and Highdown Hill.

Nearby schools include The Littlehampton Academy (1.2 miles west) and Littlehampton College (1.2 miles west)

Rustington questions

We are having a ceremony at The Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you cater afterwards?

Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.

Is Rustington close to London?

Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.

Can children have drinks from the bar?

Every bar has alcohol-free choices, from aguas frescas to soft drinks.

Do you cater in Rustington?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Rustington and the rest of West Sussex. For a quote, send a quick message through our quote form.

Is the food made fresh?

Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.

Do you take everything away?

We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.

What if the weather’s bad?

We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.

Do you cater for coeliacs?

We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
