How it works
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. A summer drinks reception in Southover has daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. In late September it’s dark around 7:05pm, and in December by about 3:55pm, so evening bars need lighting.
- We check availability.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- We tidy up at the end.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Southover questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Michael?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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.
Could you serve in Railway Land?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will plan the menu around them.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.
Do you do drinks only?
Of course. Ask about adding tacos and burritos.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service normally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
What we need at the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Access to unload close to the bar spot
- A premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice in place
- Firm, level ground where we can set up
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Drinks bars for events in Southover
Southover is about 1 mile south-east of Lewes, in East Sussex.

Southover is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover. We cater right across the region, from Southover to Brighton (about 7 miles away).
Anyone leaving the car at home will want to know that Southover has its own station, Lewes station.

Streets in the area include Ham Lane, New Road and Bell Lane, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby.

Occasions we cater for in Southover

A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Typical bookings include:
