Steyning: venues, access and licensing

Steyning is about 4 miles north-west of Shoreham-by-Sea, in West Sussex. We serve at events in gardens, halls and venues around Steyning. Steyning is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we can bring Mexican bar hire. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Steyning to Brighton (9 miles away).

Once the ceremony at a church like Jarvis Hall is over, guests may be glad of a cold drink at the reception venue. If you’re looking at a historic venue around Steyning, check its rules on outside bars and vehicles early. With the sea within about 5 miles, a seaside drinks reception is an option. Seafront spots normally need permission, especially for alcohol, and the truck or trailer needs firm ground.

Is Mexican bar hire right for your event?

Running your own bar means checking licensing, stock and staff yourself. We talk through licensing and provide bar staff. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Step by step

Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. In December, the light goes in Steyning at about 3:55pm, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. Midsummer is the opposite, with daylight until about 9:20pm.

Send us your date, venue, numbers and drinks ideas.
Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
We suggest a drinks list and send a quote.
On the day, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.

FAQs for Steyning

How far is Steyning from London?

About 44 miles from central London.

We’re having a ceremony at Jarvis Hall: can you cater afterwards?

Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.

What areas do you cover?

London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Steyning.

Who clears up?

We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will talk it through.

Do you cook on site?

Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.

Do you provide drinks?

Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.

What if the weather’s bad?

Rain does not usually stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.

How many guests can you serve?

That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.

Organising for someone else?

If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will let you know if it is a good fit.

Planning drinks for every guest

Some planning tips for the drinks:

Tell us when the bar should open and close
Plan transport home for guests
Plan water alongside the bar
Pair the bar with hot food

Responsible serving comes first: no alcohol for under-18s, and we may refuse service to anyone who has had too much.

Alcohol-free aguas frescas for all ages.

Planning the serving area

Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:

Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
A premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice in place
A spot away from neighbours’ windows if the bar runs late

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
