How the day works
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Evening drinks in Tangmere stay light until about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, which suits an outdoor bar. String lights or lanterns near the hatch make a later bar easier to find.

- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We tidy up at the end.

Tangmere: your questions answered
We’re having a ceremony at St Andrew's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Which station should guests use for Tangmere?
Guests can use Chichester station, about 3.2 miles south-west of Tangmere.
Do we need a licence for the bar?
You will need either the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We talk licensing through with you before the day. See GOV.UK for Temporary Event Notices.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we will talk licensing through with you and your venue.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Can we book the bar without food?
Yes. The bar can be booked on its own, or with our Mexican catering.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
What affects the price in Tangmere
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Whether you need disposables
- Distance and access to the venue
- What’s on the menu
- How many guests we are serving
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- What you’d like on the menu
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- The date and rough timings
Not sure what you need yet? That is fine: give us the basics about your event, and we will suggest a menu. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Space for guests to queue at the bar
- Level, firm ground for the bar set-up
- The venue’s permission for an outside bar
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

Comparing caterers
- Allergen information for each dish
- A food hygiene rating you can check
- Payment terms and deposit
- How many staff are serving, and for how long
Can I do a taco night myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
