Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

Southbourne: your questions answered
Do you cater at coastal events near Southbourne?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Eames Farm?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Do you come to Southbourne?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Southbourne and the rest of West Sussex. To check your date, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
What can we have at the bar?
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, plus soft drinks. The drinks list is agreed with you.
Do we need a licence for the bar?
You’ll need either the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We go through the licensing with you before the day. GOV.UK explains Temporary Event Notices.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.

Planning a drinks bar in Southbourne
Southbourne is about 4 miles east of Havant, in West Sussex. Whether your event is in the middle of Southbourne or on the outskirts, Mexican bar hire works the same way: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We serve in 371 places in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Southbourne to Southampton (about 22 miles away).
Guests travelling by rail: Southbourne has its own station, Southbourne station. A drinks bar at a garden or hall near a church like St. John's gives guests something to enjoy while photos are taken. The coast is within about 6 miles of Southbourne. Wind, sand and the rules on alcohol in public places all need planning for a seaside bar.
For Mexican bar hire in PO10, we plan around your venue and the route in. From Lodgebury Close, Manor Road and Northcote Gardens or a nearby road, we can bring Mexican bar hire there, given access. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Woodmancote (1 mile north), Lumley (1 mile west), Westbourne (1 mile north-west), Emsworth (1 mile west) and Thorney Island (2 miles south-west). Further out, we also cater in Bognor Regis (11 miles south-east), Chichester (6 miles east), Selsey (10 miles south-east), Portfield (6 miles east), Yapton (13 miles east) and East Wittering (6 miles south).
Nearby you’ll also find Warblington Castle (2.5 miles west) and Emsworth Museum (1.3 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Stoke Down and Brook Meadow (Emsworth).
- Local schools include Bourne Community College (within half a mile north-west)
- Pubs nearby include The Traveller's Joy Public House (within half a mile south-east)
Space, access and the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:

- A flat, firm spot for the bar

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

How the day works
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. A summer drinks reception in Southbourne has daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, ideal for drinks outdoors. In late September it’s dark around 7:05pm, and in December by about 4:00pm, so evening bars need lighting.
- We check availability.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
