A Mexican drinks bar in Strettington: local tips
Strettington is about 2 miles north-east of Chichester, in West Sussex. We bring Mexican bar hire to homes, gardens and venues in Strettington and the surrounding area. Strettington is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we can bring Mexican bar hire. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 26 miles away.
Couples leaving a church such as St Andrew's Church could be greeted with margaritas and aguas frescas at the reception. Nearby historic houses include Goodwood House (0.9 miles north-west) and West Dean House (3.8 miles north-west). Grand houses and estates tend to have firm rules on alcohol and outside bars, so raise the drinks bar with them early. Drinks by the sea could work, as Strettington is within about 6 miles of the coast. Licensing on the seafront needs checking, and we’ll do that with you.

The menu, item by item
Margaritas
The margarita is the heart of a Mexican bar.
Tamarind and fruit waters
Fruit waters are a fresh alcohol-free option.
Planning the serving area
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A clear area in front of the bar
- A premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice in place
- Somewhere to park and unload nearby
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
On the menu in Strettington
- Soft drinks
- Mexican beer
- Fruit aguas frescas
- Agua de jamaica (hibiscus)
- Margaritas
- Horchata
Planning drinks for every guest
Some planning tips for the drinks:
- Plan water alongside the bar
- Find out if you need a Temporary Event Notice
- Share bar opening times
- Give us numbers for children
Responsible serving comes first: under-18s aren’t served alcohol, and nor is anyone who has had too much.
Ask us about glassware or cups and we’ll set out the options.
For planners, venues and organisers
Throwing 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’s a good fit.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.

The process
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A photo of the space helps. Evening drinks in Strettington stay light until about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so a summer drinks bar can run into the evening in daylight. For a bar running past dusk, ask the venue about outdoor lighting.
- First, we check your date.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
How to get a price
