Book Mexican bar hire in Rye
Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Mexican bar hire in Rye, served fresh
Serving alcohol at events needs a licence: a premises licence at the venue, or a Temporary Event Notice. We go through the licensing with you before the day. It works well for launch parties and end-of-year parties, serving margaritas, alcohol-free drinks and Mexican beer.
In Rye, a drinks bar works at home or in a local hall, with access for the truck or trailer. Alcohol-free drinks such as aguas frescas can be part of the menu. You will know what’s included before you book: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Planning a drinks bar in Rye
Rye is about 9 miles north-east of Hastings, in East Sussex. Across the TN31 area, we can serve your guests, as long as there’s access. Rye is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex where we can bring Mexican bar hire. We cater right across the region, from Rye to Maidstone (about 24 miles away).
A drinks bar at a garden or hall near a church like Church of St Mary gives guests something to enjoy while photos are taken. If you’re looking at a historic venue around Rye, check its rules on outside bars and vehicles early. The coast is within about a mile of Rye. Wind, sand and the rules on alcohol in public places all need planning for a seaside bar.
For Mexican bar hire in TN31, we plan around your venue and the route in and timings. Your event could be at a home on Market Road, High Street and Market Street or the roads around them. Rye sits on or near the A259 and A268, so getting the truck or trailer to your event is simple. We also serve at events in Playden (1 mile north), East Guldeford (1 mile north-east), Rye Harbour (1 mile south-east), Houghton Green (1 mile north) and Rye Foreign (2 miles north-west). We also cater in nearby towns such as Hastings (9 miles south-west), Bexhill-on-Sea (14 miles south-west), St Leonards (10 miles south-west), Hastings Old Town (9 miles south-west), Belmont (9 miles south-west) and Hollington (10 miles south-west).
A little further out are Ypres Tower (under half a mile east) and Rye Castle Museum (East Street) (less than half a mile east). The countryside around Rye includes Rye Harbour Nature Reserve.
- Schools near Rye include Rye College (less than half a mile north)
- Local pubs include The Old Bell Inn (less than half a mile south-west)

FAQs for Rye
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you cater at coastal events near Rye?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
How much is the bar?
We do not publish set prices, because every event is different. Tell us your plans for a quote.
Do you bring staff to serve the drinks?
Our bar staff run the bar. They serve responsibly.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll talk it through.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, including East Sussex. Find your area.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
For event organisers in Rye
Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Space, access and the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- A bar spot away from homes
- Vehicle access near the bar
- The right licence for alcohol: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
On the menu in Rye
- Soft drinks
- Fruit aguas frescas
- Mexican beer
- Margaritas
- Horchata
- Agua de jamaica (hibiscus)
What happens on the day
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a photo of the space if you are unsure. A late-September party in Rye loses the light at about 7:00pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. In late May, it stays light until about 8:45pm.
- We check availability.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
