How our Mexican bar hire works in South Heighton
We set up the bar at events in and around South Heighton: from weddings and parties to work events. It suits engagement and anniversary parties and wedding drinks receptions, serving alcohol-free drinks, Mexican beer and margaritas.
In a rural spot like South Heighton, drinks can be served from our food truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, given access. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Step by step
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests. Winter receptions in South Heighton are dark by about 3:55pm in December, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:15pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We talk through licensing with you.
- We agree a drinks menu.
- We serve drinks responsibly on the day.
- We pack down when the bar closes.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Drinks receptions around South Heighton
South Heighton is about 1 mile north of Newhaven, in East Sussex. From the centre of South Heighton to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. South Heighton is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex where we can bring Mexican bar hire. We cater right across the region, from South Heighton to Brighton (about 8 miles away).
If the service is at a church such as Church of St Leonard, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. A gathering in Castle Hill? Check the park’s rules first, as alcohol and vehicles generally need permission. South Heighton is within about 5 miles of the South Downs National Park, a lovely setting for drinks outdoors. Ask your venue about vehicle access for the truck or trailer. With the sea within about 4 miles, a seaside drinks reception is an option. Seafront spots usually need permission, especially for alcohol, and the truck or trailer needs firm ground.
We cater events across BN9. We also serve at events in Denton (1 mile south), Piddinghoe (1 mile west), Rodmell (3 miles north-west), Telscombe (3 miles west) and Firle (3 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Eastbourne (10 miles east), Seaford (3 miles south-east), Lewes (5 miles north-west), Hailsham (10 miles north-east), Uckfield (11 miles north) and Polegate (8 miles east).
Nearby you’ll also find Planet Earth Museum (less than half a mile south-west) and Arlington Castle (4.8 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Itford Hill and Southerham Farm.

Around South Heighton, historic houses include Monk's House (2.9 miles north-west) and Firle Place (3 miles north-east). Grand houses and estates tend to have firm rules on alcohol and outside bars, so raise the drinks bar with them early.

Questions from South Heighton
How far is South Heighton from London?
It is about 48 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Leonard?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
What Mexican bar hire costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many staff you need
- What’s on the menu
- Food, drinks or both
- How long we’re needed on site
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.

You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of where we’d park
- The date and time of the event
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Any dietary needs and allergies

Can I do a taco night myself?
