Who books Mexican bar hire in Stanmer?
It suits summer evenings especially well in a garden, field or marquee.
Whatever the occasion, our truck or trailer can be the centre of it. We are happy to cater:
- Client events and launches
- Birthday parties
- Staff parties
- End-of-year and Christmas parties
If the service is at a church such as Stanmer Church, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church.

Common questions in Stanmer
Do you cater in villages like Stanmer?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Can we book the bar without food?
Yes, though it pairs well with tacos. Ask about adding tacos and burritos.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
Can you keep it mild?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so get in touch early.
Do you bring staff to serve the drinks?
Bar staff are part of the service.

Planning drinks for every guest

Can I do a taco night myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.

- Details of power and water on site
- A flat, firm spot for the bar
- A clear area in front of the bar
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
