Drinks receptions around St Leonards
St Leonards is about 1 mile south-west of Hastings, in East Sussex. Wherever your event is in the TN38 area, we can serve your guests. St Leonards is one of 289 places in East Sussex where we can bring Mexican bar hire. Our truck and trailer cover the area from St Leonards to Brighton (30 miles away).
Older venues around St Leonards may restrict vehicles and outside drinks service, so confirm what’s allowed before you book. A drinks bar at a garden or hall near a church like St John the Evangelist's Church gives guests something to enjoy while photos are taken. Drinks by the sea could work, as St Leonards is within about 2 miles of the coast. Licensing on the seafront needs checking, and we will do that with you.
Here we cover the TN38, TN37 and TN34 postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. Local streets include Sea Road, Fern Road and Dane Road; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park.

As one of the bigger places in East Sussex, St Leonards has lots of places to hold an event, though town-centre access for a truck or trailer needs planning.
