St Helen's is about 1 mile north-east of Hastings, in East Sussex. We cater events at gardens, halls and venues around St Helen's. We cater in 289 places across East Sussex, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our truck and trailer cover the area from St Helen's to Brighton (31 miles away).
Parks such as Old Roar Gill and Coronation Wood have their own rules on vehicles and alcohol, so check before planning a drinks bar there. A drinks bar at a garden or hall near a church like St Peter & St Paul gives guests something to enjoy while photos are taken. The coast is within about 2 miles of St Helen's. Wind, sand and the rules on alcohol in public places all need planning for a seaside bar.

How we price Mexican bar hire
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- The length of service
- Food, drinks or both
- How many staff you need
- Travel, parking and access
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Your menu ideas
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- The date and rough timings
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send you a clear quote and a suggested menu.

Should I do it myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

St Helen's: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to St Helen's for guests?
Guests can use Ore station, about 0.8 miles south-east of St Helen's.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Old Roar Gill and Coronation Wood?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
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. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will suggest mild options.
Do you do drinks only?
Yes, though it pairs well with tacos. Our Mexican catering can be added too.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do we need a licence for the bar?
Alcohol at an event needs the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We’ll talk licensing through with you. GOV.UK explains Temporary Event Notices.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
Mexican bar hire or something else?
Wine and fizz are the usual choices. A Mexican bar feels relaxed and different. There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican bar hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
