Drinks receptions around Washington
Washington is about 6 miles north of Worthing, in West Sussex. We cater events at gardens, halls and venues around Washington and the surrounding area. We serve in all 371 towns and villages across West Sussex, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Washington to Brighton (13 miles away).
Historic houses near Washington include Parham House (3.9 miles west). Grand houses and estates tend to have firm rules on alcohol and outside bars, so raise the drinks bar with them early. Couples leaving a church such as The Parish Church of St Mary could be greeted with margaritas and aguas frescas at the reception. An outdoor bar near the South Downs National Park, within about 6 miles of Washington, needs firm ground and a way in, plus the right licensing, which we’ll check with you.
Mexican bar hire in RH20 is planned around your venue and access and your guests. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on London Road, The Street and Chanctonbury Close. For events just outside Washington, we cover Rock (1 mile north), Sullington (1 mile west), Heath Common (2 miles north-west), Storrington (2 miles north-west) and Warminghurst (2 miles north). Further out, we also cater in Horsham (12 miles north), Worthing (6 miles south), Bognor Regis (15 miles south-west), Haywards Heath (15 miles north-east), Burgess Hill (13 miles east) and Littlehampton (8 miles south-west).
A little further out are The Storrington And District Museum (2 miles north-west). The countryside around Washington includes Chanctonbury Hill.
- Schools near Washington include Windlesham House School (1.2 miles south-west) and Rydon Community College (1.8 miles north-west)
- Pubs nearby include The Frankland Arms Public House (under half a mile south-east)
The process
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. At midsummer, it’s light in Washington until about 9:20pm, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. By late September, sunset is about 7:05pm, and in December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting around the bar.

Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
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.
Planning the bar
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Ensure drivers have good choices
- Share bar opening times
- Check how alcohol will be licensed at your venue
- Plan any Temporary Event Notice well ahead
We can give allergen information for every drink.
A welcome margarita as guests arrive, licensing permitting.
Washington: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary?
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.
How far is Washington from London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
What does a Mexican bar cost?
We don’t publish set prices, because every event is different. Send your details for a quote.
Who handles the licensing?
That depends on your venue. If the venue has no licence, a Temporary Event Notice may be needed. We will go through the licensing with you.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you do margaritas?
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 will talk licensing through with you.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A bar spot away from homes
- Somewhere to park and unload nearby
- The right licence for alcohol: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What we offer
- Mexican beer
- Agua de jamaica (hibiscus)
- Horchata
- Margaritas
- Fruit aguas frescas
- Soft drinks
