About our Mexican bar hire in Tortington
Alcohol at an event needs the right licence: either the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We check the licensing with you before the day. For engagement celebrations and milestone birthdays, we’ll put together a menu of horchata, alcohol-free drinks and soft drinks and more.
For a country party near Tortington, a drinks bar in a garden or field sets the mood. Let us know about access and soft ground. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Drinks bars for events in Tortington
Tortington is about 3 miles north-west of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. Events in Tortington are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. Tortington is one of 371 places in West Sussex where we can bring Mexican bar hire. You can also see our page for Chichester, about 9 miles away.
Anyone leaving the car at home will want to know that Tortington has its own station, Ford station. Historic buildings near Tortington often have strict rules for outside caterers, so ask early if that is your venue. Tortington is within about 6 miles of the South Downs National Park, a lovely setting for drinks outdoors. Ask your venue about vehicle access for the truck or trailer. With the sea within about 3 miles, a seaside drinks reception is an option. Seafront spots usually need permission, especially for alcohol, and the truck or trailer needs firm ground.
We serve at events all over BN18 and the streets around it. Local streets include Ford Road and Gaugemaster Way; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. If your venue is just outside Tortington, we also cover Ford (1 mile south), Lyminster (1 mile east), Arundel (1 mile north-east), Wick (2 miles south-east) and Climping (2 miles south). Further out, we also cater in Worthing (8 miles east), Bognor Regis (6 miles south-west), Chichester (9 miles west), Selsey (12 miles south-west), Littlehampton (3 miles south-east) and Shoreham-by-Sea (13 miles east).
A little further out are Arundel Castle (1.8 miles north-east) and Arundel and District Hospital (1.4 miles north). The countryside around Tortington includes WWT Arundel.
- Nearby schools include The Littlehampton Academy (2.3 miles south-east)
- Nearby, you’ll find The Arundel Arms Public House At Ford Station (within half a mile south)
Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
What affects the price in Tortington
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Parking and the route in
- Whether you need disposables
- How many guests we’re serving
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- What you’d like on the menu
- Expected numbers
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll send you a clear quote.
How it compares
Running your own bar means checking licensing, stock and staff yourself. We’ll talk licensing through with you and bring bar staff. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.

For planners, venues and organisers
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
What happens on the day
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. By late September, sunset in Tortington comes at roughly 7:05pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. In late May, it stays light until about 8:50pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We talk through licensing with you.
- You choose the drinks with us.
- We serve drinks responsibly on the day.
- We pack down when the bar closes.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Give us a contact for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
How to get a price
