A Mexican drinks bar in West Ashling: local tips
West Ashling is about 3 miles north-west of Chichester, in West Sussex. For Mexican bar hire in West Ashling, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. We serve in all 371 towns and villages in West Sussex, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
A drinks bar at a garden or hall near a church like The Parish Church of St Mary gives guests something to enjoy while photos are taken. Nearby historic houses include West Dean House (4.6 miles north-east) and Goodwood House (4.8 miles east). Grand houses and estates tend to have firm rules on alcohol and outside bars, so raise the drinks bar with them early.

What Mexican bar hire costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many guests we’re serving
- Food, drinks or both
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Serving staff
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Roughly how many adults and children
- A picture of where we’d park
To get a price, just tell us about it on our contact page. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll suggest a menu to suit.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.

The process
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens.

For a bar running past dusk, ask the venue about outdoor lighting.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We talk through licensing with you.
- We agree a drinks menu.
- Our bar staff serve your guests at the agreed times.
- We pack down when the bar closes.
