Mexican bar hire near South Chailey
What Mexican bar hire costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, parking and access
- Staff for serving and the bar
- What the venue already provides
- What’s on the menu
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Your menu ideas
- A picture of where we’d park
- Where the event is
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

Mexican bar hire or something else?
A generic bar does the job, but a Mexican bar with margaritas and aguas frescas feels like part of the theme. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.

How it works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. Winter receptions in South Chailey are dark by about 3:55pm in December, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. Midsummer is the opposite, with daylight until about 9:20pm.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
- You get a suggested drinks menu and a quote.
- On the day we set up the bar and our bar staff serve your guests.
- We pack away when the bar shuts and leave the area tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
How to get a price

South Chailey questions
Do you come out to small places like South Chailey?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
How far is South Chailey from central London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you have a licence to sell alcohol?
It depends on the venue. Some venues have a premises licence; others need a Temporary Event Notice. We’ll go through the licensing with you.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with 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.
Do you have alcohol-free drinks?
There are always alcohol-free options, including aguas frescas and soft drinks.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, 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.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.

Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
